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.

How have the Balkan Mountains affected the cultures that live there?
lisov135 [29]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

One thing that the Balkan Mountains have done is create very distinct cultures. Every location has different cultures, but these mountains are very large physical barriers to cultural interaction, so this has led to a plethora of different ethnic and cultural groups in the Balkan region.

Another thing that they have done is create a sort of hierarchy where those that are more well off live in the valley, further away and from the mountains, and those who may not be as well off, considered inferior, or simply desire to practice transhumance, herding, or being a nomad will be dwelling in the mountains. It creates different "zones" based on the geography of the area.

A final thing these mountains have done is create cultural tension in the Balkan Peninsula. Since so many of these groups develop isolated from from other cultures, efforts to unite these groups usually fail and it leads to rancor between these distinct groups. This is why this area has been very war-torn before in states such as Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
