Explain how the processes of sea-floor spreading and magnetic reversal produce bands of oceanic crust that have different magnet

ic polarities.

WARRIOR [948]4 years ago

Explanation:

As the two plates move away from each other in a divergent boundary, the magma from the mantle beneath rises to replace the void created. The magma then cools into a new crust. Before the magma cools, the iron minerals align themselves with the magnetic fields of the earth due to their ferromagnetic properties. These cause the rocks after they are cooled to seem to have bands.

Due to magnetic reversals of the earth's magnetic fields (i.e change in magnetic north and south poles) over several hundred thousand years, these bands will orient differently depending on the then earth magnetic polarity when the magma was cooling.

Answer:

<h2>They are classified on the basis of their cell wall composition and as well as by the reaction to the Gram stain test. </h2>

Explanation:

Most bacteria are classified into two main categories

i) Gram positive bacteria and ,

ii) Gram negative bacteria.  

They are classified on the basis of their cell wall composition and as well as by the reaction to the Gram stain test.

Gram positive bacteria's characteristics

 ii) they have cell walls composed mostly of  peptidoglycan.

i) stain purple after Gram staining.

Gram negative bacteria's characteristics.  

i) they have cell wall only a thin layer of peptidoglycan and an outer membrane with a lipopolysaccharide component.

ii) stain red or pink after Gram staining.
