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.

It would have both effects

positive:
-no higher power of the rich
- everyone can live comfortably
-less homeless people
-less poverty
-everyone is treated fairly

negative:
- more and more people take over the land
- more production of higher priced products which can lead to more pollution
- population growth
- less people would want to be things like doctors since they would get the same $ as a waiter

Rock layers are correlated if they both contain the same ____.
REY [17]

Answer:

c. fossils

Explanation:

Fossils are the remains of dead and decayed organisms that are preserved in rocks. Fossils can be preserved using their hard parts, or the products of their activities can remain still for several years.

Fossil are used for relative age dating of rocks.  According to the principle of fossil and fauna succession, it is scientifically correct to correlate areas with the same fossil record because fossils succeed on another in a definite order. All rocks that exists in that time period will contain the organisms that lived during that period in time.

(5 pts) What types of facts were needed for you to determine the size of Earth's outer core? Explain.
Lisa [10]

The outer core of the Earth is formed by liquid iron, with temperatures that can reach 3,000 ° C, its size is up to 5,150KM. It is in the outer core that the earth's magnetic field originates, generated from the movement of the liquids that make up the outer core. Seismic waves are the vibration movements that occur inside the earth and propagate on the earth like earthquakes or explosions, so through seismology it was important to determine the size of the nucleus, because from the study of seismic waves it is possible to determine direction, time and path of the waves, as well as those waves that are reflected and refracted. Therefore it was through the study of mechanical waves that one can discover important features of the structure of our planet.
