It would refer to a number of related phenomena and patterns of change.
The answers that apply are;
- striped pattern
- provide evidence to seafloor spreading
Ocean ridges can be found at divergent boundaries where two plates are moving away from each other. As the magma rises to fill the void, it cools into rock and forms new crust. The iron minerals in the rocks align with the earth’s magnetic field before the rock cools. This causes the rocks in these areas of seafloor spreading to have band-like patterns. The irons align differently each number of years in relation to the flipping of the earth’s magnetic field. This phenomenon has been used to determine the ages of these rock layers.
A pollitical map focuses on boundaries between entities like countries states of counties they are generally brigther colors to easly distinguish the boundaries a phisical maps focuses on the geography of the area and will often have shaded relief to show the mountains and valleys.
Ultramafic,as components of mafic rocks like olivine and pyroxene solidified at very high temperatures, so mafic minerals will decompose as the result of chemical weathering more rapidly than felsic minerals
