Explain how research from the glomar challenger helped scientist support the theory of seafloor spreading?

Chemistry

Drill cores from the ocean floor were dated and found to be very young compared to the age of the earth. This means the crust had to be formed recently, which can be explained by creation of crust at a spreading center.

Answer:

The correct answer is as follows.

Explanation:

The theory of seafloor spreading states that seafloor lithosphere is not stationary, on the contrary, it is constantly renewing at mid-ocean ridges. The research from the Glomar Challenger, that use a scientific drilling vessel,  helped to support this theory by taking rock samples from the Mid-ocean ridge. After analyzing the rock samples it was revealed that the farther from the mid-ocean ridge, the older the rock was.

In addition to not causing damage to the sample, what is another advantage of using a microspectrophotometer to analyze fibers?
Tems11 [23]

Another advantage of advantage of using a microspectrophotometer to analyze fibers asides not causing damage to the sample is that the sample can be quite small.

<h3>What is a microspectrophotometer?</h3>

Microspectrophotometry is a biological technique used to measure the absorption or transmission spectrum of a solid or liquid material in either transmitted or reflected light.

Microspectrophotometry can also measure the emission of light by a sample, which is usually small as the micro implies.

One advantage of microspectrophotometry is that the sample does not get damaged. However,

However, another advantage of advantage of using a microspectrophotometer to analyze fibers asides not causing damage to the sample is that the sample can be quite small.

When bridges are built, special joints must be used because the material of the bridge shrinks, and without these joints, the ma
marysya [2.9K]

Expansion

Explanation:

Expansion is the change is size of a body with increasing temperature and tension.

Bridges are built of iron. Iron thermally expands in the presence of increased temperature during the day. The length of the iron will increase by simple fractions. At night, when temperature drops, the bar returns back to its initial position.

  • The allowance for expansion of the metal is made in order to prevent tension within the structure.
  • Not doing this will cause the material to break since there is no free space for the bar to change shape.

Table salt is a refined salt containing about 97 to 99% sodium Chloride iodized salt containing potassium iodide is widely avail
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. It is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion. Both atoms are bonded together electrostatic attraction occur between anion and cations.

Sodium atom have one valance electron by losing this one valance electron sodium atom get the complete octet. Chlorine atom has seven valance electrons and needed to lose seven valance electrons or to get one electron and thus complete the octet. It is very easy for chlorine atom to get one electrons instead of losing all seven electron. Thus when it react with sodium it gain the valance electron of sodium and form ionic compound.

That's why only one atom of  sodium combine with one atom chlorine.

irina [24]

Answer:

D. It formed solely from atoms generated by the Big Bang.

Explanation:

From the history of the earth and it's solar system, options A to C are all correct ways of summarizing the Solar System's development. Because they have been proven to be in sync with reality of the solar system whereas the Bing bang theory has not done so as we know it says the universe was birthed from a huge explosion called big bang.
