How do we know that earth's magnetic field has undergone reversals in the past?
slega [8]
We know that the poles had changed positions in the past, because of the arrangement of the crystals in the rocks made out of metal. The crystals of the metals act like the needle of the compass when the rock is cooling off and forming, they turn into the direction of the strongest magnetic field on the Earth, which is the North Pole. So by studying the rocks that are made out of metals and see the crystals arrangement and also estimate the age of the rocks, the scientist can precisely tell how has the North Pole been moving throughout time.

Which of the following are examples of ecosystem services that humans derive from water bodies?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

d. II and III only

Explanation:

These are two of the benefits that humans derive from water bodies. The gradual removal of water pollutants by wetlands allows humans to enjoy a more purified water. Moreover, the growth of fish, crustaceans and other food sources allows us to obtain nourishment from the animals that we find in the ocean. However, the development of algal blooms in lakes does not bring any benefit to humans.
