Sea floor spreading occurs in divergent boundaries where new crust is being formed

Explanation:

The earth's magnetic field is NOT static. There have been about 4 -5  flips in the last 10 million years. Earth's magnetic field affects the orientation of highly ferromagnetic ions on earth such as iron. These ions align with the earth's magnetic fields. Magma has significant iron content and when it gets to the surface, these ions align with the earth's magnetic fields before the magma cools to solid rock forming bands on the rocks. At divergent boundaries, these bands are evident on the newly formed crust when magma rises to replace the void from the diverging tectonic plates. Some of these bands align in the opposite orientation and provide evidence of when the earth’s magnetic field flipped. Even during magma flow in a volcanic eruption, when the magma, with high iron content, cools, bands on the rocks are evident due to this phenomenon.

aerobic respiration results in the production of large amounts of lactic acid. How does this impact the body? What is one real l
neonofarm [45]
It’s actually called anaerobic cellular respiration because you’re not using oxygen. For example, when you sprint you can’t breathe very well, so you’re not inhaling as much oxygen you need to make that energy for you to move. Your muscles will go into lactic acid fermentation, and the result of that is energy (ATP) along with lactate (lactic acid), and you will probably start feeling pain as the lactic acids build up.

Hope that helps!

Which organisms appeared on earth first
STatiana [176]

The organisms which appeared on earth first was bacteria.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The first-ever living organism on Earth was a bacteria known as cyanobacteria. It is believed by scientists that it first formed around 3 billion years ago.
  • When the Earth was first formed, it was inhospitable for a long time until 3.8 billion years ago approximately, the core cooled down and the level of oxygen had risen. This, along with photosynthesis resulted in the formation of Cyanobacteria.
  • These organisms were capable of carrying out the process of photosynthesis by which they prepared their food. These were known as common ancestors. All the living organisms thereafter are known to be their descendants.

The energy that is released by the hydrolysis of atp by actin is used for:
anyanavicka [17]
The energy released is used for assembly of actin filament with myosin head. when myosin is attached to ATP its heads cannot bind to actin and therefore muscle will remain in relaxed form. However during muscle contraction an enzyme referred to as ATPase hydrolyses ATP to ADP and organic phosphate in the process releasing energy. The energy released changes the position of head of myosin which facilatate its binding with actin. Myosin moves towards m-line dragging actin along with it reducing the length of sarcomere leading to muscle contraction.
