Answer:

D) there is evidence of dramatic negative results every time the magnetic poles reverse

Explanation:

Paleomagnetism is the Science that studies the magnetic field of rocks to assess changes in the Earth's magnetic field in remote times and to study the movement of continents in geological time. The studies carried out indicate that the Earth has had a significant magnetic field, at least, 2.7 billion years ago.

The magnetic field of rocks has beneficial and harmful effects on our planet. Regarding paleomagnetism at spreading ridges, there is evidence of dramatic negative results every time the magnetic poles are inverted.

The true statement is that it evidences the dramatic negative results every time when the poles of the magnet get reversed.

Option D

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

There are two poles: North and South Pole in Earth's magnetic field. When lava erupts at mid-ocean ridge, it cools and becomes a hard rock. During this process of cooling, the rock becomes magnetised.

Scientists have discovered that the magnetic field of Earth has been reversed in direction hundreds of times, which means that the polarity of North pole and South pole reverses.

Due to this reversal, a pattern of magnetic stripes is created in symmetry on both sides of the mid-ocean ridges.

Give a brief explanation of why food webs are preferred over food chains for representing the flow of energy in an ecosystem.
olga nikolaevna [1]
<h3><u>The Food webs are preferred over food chains for representing the flow of energy in an ecosystem for the following reasons: </u></h3>
  • The food webs are higher in complexity when compared to food chains and also, in food web, more than one primary producers is present which increases the 'flow of energy' in the ecosystem.
  • Food web represents the real life better than the food chains do.
  • Food web shows many different paths through which the organisms can be connected.

How does the function of the glottis help the frog survive?
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

This voice box occurs in all amphibians but is anatomically most complex in frogs. The larynx exits into the trachea; the latter bifurcates into the bronchi and then into the lungs. The glottis then opens, and elastic recoil of the lungs forces the pulmonary air out and over the new air in the buccopharyngeal pocket.
