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.

Describe what will happen to the wave as it goes through the hole. what do we call this?​
kari74 [83]

Diffraction occurs when a wave moves through an opening in a barrier. This causes the wave to change direction and spread out.

Waves can behave in three different ways depending on the obstacles they encounter. They can reflect, refract or diffract. In diffraction, waves such as sound, light or water either bend around small objects that obstruct their passage or spread out as they travel through a gap in the barrier.

The degree of diffraction forms a direct relationship with wavelength. It generally increases as wavelength increases. Conversely, the amount of bending lessens as wavelength decreases. However, if the opening of the barrier is smaller than the wavelength, the effect of diffraction is not easily observed. Hope this helps.

How does variation of beak type affect a birds ability to survive?
Blababa [14]
The variation in beak type enables the different individuals in a population to feed on different food sources.

The shape of the beak is key to determining the primary food source of the bird. Certain birds species have specialized beaks, but within populations of those species, there is a variation in beak shape.
This gives the population the ability to respond to changes in the environment and availability of different food sources.
For example, if because of a dry period there is a shortage of fruit, some individuals in the population have the beaks that enable them to feed on other things, survive and leave offspring.
