How do ocean floor rocks and sediments provide evidence of seafloor spreading

Biology
1 answer:
viva [34]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:First, samples of the deep ocean floor show that basaltic oceanic crust and overlying sediment become progressively younger as the mid-ocean ridge is approached, and the sediment cover is thinner near the ridge.

Explanation:

The features of the seafloor and the patterns of magnetic polarity symmetrically about the mid-ocean ridges were the pieces that Hess needed. ... As oceanic crust forms and spreads, moving away from the ridge crest, it pushes the continent away from the ridge axis.

Explain why the passenger pigeon,which was once the most abundant bird in north America,disappeared completely.
denpristay [2]

Answer with Explanation:

The "passenger pigeon" used to be North America's most popular bird. Their population even reached<em> 3 billion</em> (or even more). They always traveled together. Their decline in number was noted in the<em> 19th century</em>. People became interested in hunting them for food because<em> they were relatively cheap and tasty</em> . They were also a<em> great source of protein</em>. It was easy to hunt them down although they could fly very fast because<u> their flocks were huge in number.</u> Some people killed them because <em>they didn't want the birds ruining their crops</em>. Their<u> nesting grounds</u> were also disturbed, which ultimately drove them away from the forests. People were overkilling them, and this sped up with the <em>advancement of technology</em>. The number of pigeons killed outnumbered the newborn pigeons, and after decades of hunting them down, their number dwindled with the<em> last one passing away in </em><em>1914.</em>

Why are none of the outer planets likely to support life similar to that of Earth ?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Because of outer planets' extreme environments, it is improbable that they would contain any life. Outer planets are the farthest from the Sun; as a result, some lack necessary heat to support life, while others are hotter than expected for undetermined reasons.

You eat a candy bar to get you through a late-night studying session. Your body quickly begins to break down the macromolecules
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

a. First Step: The sugars are broken down to simple glucose molecules and the proteins and lipids are broken down to acetyl-CoA molecules. No energy is produced in this first step.

b. Second Step: Glycolysis converts the glucose to two molecules of pyruvate. Six ATP molecules are produced in this step.

c. Third Step: Oxidation of each pyruvate produces two molecules of acetyl-CoA. Six ATP molecules are produced in this step.

d. Fourth Step: Two acetyl-CoA molecules go through the Krebs (citric acid) cycle. Twenty-four ATP molecules are produced through this process.

e. All of the above steps are part of the break down of the candy bar's macromolecules.
