Answer:

D. Reversal of Earth's magnetic field

Explanation:

The earth's magnetic field changes over time and this causes changes in the direction of magnetization of magnetic elements or minerals in rocks.

Our magnetic field is widely believed to originate from activities within the outer core where molten iron and nickel moves. The flow of these molten elements results in the production of the magnetic signatures on earth surface.

Some elements and minerals within rocks are capable of recording the direction of magnetic fields at a period in time. Before magma cools, such minerals in these rocks aligns their poles to that of the prevailing direction of the earths magnetic field. This is how the magnetic changes at the mid-oceanic ridges are recorded.

<u>Answer:</u>

The process of seafloor spreading is responsible for "creating magnetic changes" along mid-ocean ridges.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • When "seafloor spreading" occurs along the mid-oceanic ridges, it results in a drastic splitting of the oceanic floor over a large area.
  • This in return changes the orientation of the predominant magnetic fields and the intensity of their strength in the region.
  • The mid-oceanic ridges are majorly constituted of solidified lava which is rich in iron.
  • The changes that occur in the local magnetic fields due to seafloor spreading thus create magnetic changes along the mid-oceanic ridges.

Differentiate between renewable and non-renewable resources. Give examples of both. What are the dangers in depending too much o
Vadim26 [7]

Renewable resources are resources that can be used over and over again and can be replemished naturally. For example, solar power energy. Non-renewable resources are resources that available in limited quantities. For example, oil or coal. The dangers of depending to much on non-renewable resources are risking the chance of using up all of the non-renewable resources and not being able to get it back.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The Andes in western South America is an example of a landform that arises from the movement of the tectonic plates.

The Andes mountain range is the mountain range that runs along South America's whole Pacific Ocean coast in the west. It is the world's longest continental mountain range, stretching 8500 km.

It was created by the convergence of the South American and Nazca plates towards the end of the Late Cretaceous, at the end of the Mesozoic era. In the relief configuration, seismic movements and consequent volcanic activity have been more significant than external erosive processes.

There are high mountain ranges in the existing morphology, as well as broad high plateaus, deep longitudinal valleys, and vast mountain ranges. Except for in the Argentine-Chilean Andes, transversal valleys are uncommon.
