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

ic polarities.

WARRIOR [948]3 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.

What are two ways that Bacteria offect plants
Oduvanchick [21]
Bacteria may affect plants in a number of ways. Diseases have been mentioned, but most bacteria co-exist with plants quite easily. Several bacteria are involved with the transitions of nutrients and make nutrients such as nitrogen plant available (the plant is only able to absorb some nutrients in certain molecular forms). While other bacteria convert nutrients and toxins into forms unavailable to the plant. 

Other bacteria make Some bacteria, Rhizobia in particular, develop symbiotic relationships with some plants. Rhizobia convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium which is plant available. In exchange, the plant provides Rhizobia with shelter (a root nodule) and food (photosynthates).

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wariber [46]

I am not entirely sure, but i think it would be the respiratory system because plants produce oxygen after taking in carbon dioxide, and that is similar to the human respiratory system. I am not completely sure though. hope this helps!
