At the outer edges of ocean crust

Explanation:

The rocks found in continents are older and in some cases the oldest. The younger rocks are found in mid ridge of ocean. The oldest rocks can be found in ocean trenches that are very deep.

At the outer edges of ocean crust, oldest rocks can’t be found as relatively newer ones are formed continually and mostly found. So, different regions have different ages of rocks and needs to be explored properly.

Answer:

<u>at the outer edges of oceanic crust</u>

Explanation:

  • As the oceanic crust from the lava gets deposited in both the sides of the floor so this spreading of lava outward from the surroundings tends to accumulate and gets aligned with magnetic properties this basaltic layer of lava when solidifies gets converted into a rock mass and is deposited at the outer edges of the crust.
  • As each year the earth repeats this cycle and recycles the old materials back to the origin and new rocks ar create from the deeps of the oceanic floor. And newer ones are found around the center of the mid-oceanic ridges.
  • Thus places most likely to find the old rocks are near the shore of the continental crusts.

How would earths atmosphere be different if organisms capable of photosynthesis has not evolved?
katrin2010 [14]
The Earth's atmosphere would have little or no oxygen. A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun to make their own food in the leaves. The process uses sun light, water and carbon dioxide to yield oxygen and simple sugars. The simple sugars are stored in form of starch for future use by the plants, while oxygen is either used for cellular respiration or released to the atmosphere. The process of photosynthesis adds oxygen to the atmosphere and uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Why are there fewer organisms in each level as you go up the energy pyramid ​
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation: The energy pyramid describes how energy gets distributed through an ecosystem. The more there is of an organism on the energy pyramid, the more it gives overall to the ecosystem. The less there is of an organism, the less it gives to the ecosystem. Take the Floridian Everglades as an example. There is an abundance of sawgrass, and that makes up the foundation of the system, along with mangroves and such. But there are less of predators in the ecosystem because they only feed of of their prey like small mammals or fish. They never start the food chain, they end it.
