Answer:

Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics. When oceanic plates diverge, tensional stress causes fractures to occur in the lithosphere. At a spreading center, basaltic magma rises up the fractures and cools on the ocean floor to form new seabed.

Explanation:

Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense. The less-dense material rises, often forming a mountain or elevated area of the seafloor. Eventually, the crust cracks.

Why do the navajo associate the tips of the fingers with the trail of the wind?
kozerog [31]
Allegedly, <span>the finger tips show where the wind blew when our ancestors were created. In a way, their fingertips are roots to their ancestors, so touching them somehow links them to their ancestors. And as you probably know, the Navajo are very much connected to their ancestors, and tribes in general. </span>

Why is it important to learn about biomolecules
Sav [38]

Answer:

The explanation is given in the explanation section.

Explanation:

Living organisms make biomolecules, and they are made because of their functional characteristics. Most of the biomolecules do not exist outside of living organisms because they are too complex to be created by chance chemical collisions. 

The four primary purposes of biomolecules are:

- Structure (some proteins)

- Energy storage and release (carbohydrates)

- Protective layers (lipids)

- Information storage and communication (DNA, RNA, endocrines of numerous various types and manipulated molecules, such as fatty acids)
