Answer:

Bands of magnetism are found on the earth sea floor by the process of seafloor spreading.

Explanation:

As the rising magma from the deep vent of the mid-oceanic ridges. The deposition of magma or lava at the floors of the oceanic beds after solidification leads to the dual magnetic properties that are aligned by the magnetosphere of the earth.

This magnetism has several properties and the hard and soft bands of rocks are created as a result of the spreading of lava on both sides of the ridges having reverse magnetic properties.

Seafloor spreading and divergence is responsible for the opening up of sea bottoms and hence positively and negatively charges ions are released through this process in lava. Hence the hard and old est rocks are found away from the ridges and soft and smooth rock near the ridges.
Studied in Paleomagnetism evidence provided by Harry Hess.

Mario is driving at a constant rate. So far, he has driven 330 miles in 6 hours. If he continues to drive at the same rate, how

galben [10]

Distance covered by Mario in 6 hours is 330 miles. Then, Average speed of Mario is 330 miles divided by 6 hours = 55 miles per hour so to drive a total distance of 715 miles, it would take him ( 715 miles divided by 55 miles per hour) hours i.e., 13 hours so Mario will have to drive for 7 more hours to complete a total distance of 715 miles.

In the drier Great Plains states to the west, farmers are more likely to _____.

Sonja [21]

The correct answer is - grow wheat or oats.

The Great Plains region is a semi arid region. That means that it has relatively low amount of precipitation. Also, the precipitation occurs only in certain parts of the year, and there's relatively long droughts in between. This has led to the Great Plains region to naturally be a grassland. The grasses have contributed with their quick decomposition for a very fertile soil with deep top humus layer. In order to use the soil, the climate conditions, as well as to retain the soil's high productivity, the farmers have mainly orientated towards the farming of crops like the wheat and the oats. They do not require a lot of water, have characteristics that make them suitable for the climate, and their roots and leftovers from the steams are decomposing very quickly which retains the soil's fertility.
