the characteristic of projections which portray accurate sizes but distort shapes of land masses is called ____
denis23 [38]

Answer:

equivalence

Explanation:

Recall that this principle is the basis of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. According to the German researcher, gravity is not a force that acts independently on each object, but rather a deformation of the same temporal space tissue.

According to the test carried out now by the team of astronomers, these three dead stars in two of their forms, a pulsar or a white dwarf, are perfect candidates to confirm the theory.

The equivalence was already understood centuries ago by Galileo Galilei. In his famous test of the spheres in the Tower of Pisa he demonstrated the existence on Earth. Subsequently, astronaut David Scott did the same on the lunar surface in 1971.

Now, this team has demonstrated it by studying two of the densest objects in the universe. Until today, many believed that the high density of the pulsar made him exempt from complying with the equivalence principle. However, being subjected to the gravitational field of one of the white dwarfs, the closest and least massive, after six years of observations, they have been able to demonstrate that both bodies have the same acceleration. And, if there is a difference, it is less than three parts between one million. That is the conclusion reached by a new test that tested Einstein and corroborated his theories once again.

Which observation about the Mid-Atlantic Ridge region provides the best evidence that the seafloor has been spreading for millio
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

D. Seafloor bedrock is younger near the ridge and older farther away.

Explanation:

In a divergence boundary oceanic plates or continental plates move apart. The plates moves apart causing an uprising of molten magma to form a new crust. The divergent movement of plate is very prevalent in the oceanic plates.

The plates in the oceanic crust moves apart due to the up welling of aesthenosphere materials . These aesthenosphere materials(molten magma) are introduce to the ocean floor through the mid oceanic ridge . As this materials are introduced through cracks and fissures, the plates continue to drift apart. The molten magma later solidified to form a new crust closer to the oceanic ridge.  This is why sea floor bedrock closer to the ridge is younger as new rocks are formed here. But as one move farther away from the ridge the rocks become older. This phenomenon provide ample evidence that the seafloor is spreading. The older rocks found father away from the ridge proves the seafloor has been spreading given way for new rocks closer to the ridge.
