AURORKA [14]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: Absolute dating methods determine how much time has passed since rocks formed by measuring the radioactive decay of isotopes or the effects of radiation on the crystal structure of minerals. Paleomagnetism measures the ancient orientation of the Earth's magnetic field to help determine the age of rocks.

What are the four main layers of the atmosphere different properties?
Ostrovityanka [42]
Earth’s atmosphere is mainly composed of nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O). This is further subdivided into four layers according to their temperatures. Troposphere the layer closes to the Earth's surface with 10-15 km above its surface. Stratosphere is 15 to 50 km above the surface of the Earth and its top is warmer than its bottom. Mesosphere extends 50 to 80 km and becomes colder with increasing altitude. <span>And thermosphere is 80 km above the surface of the Earth to outer space and is very hot.</span>

What can scientists learn from magnetic striping patterns? Select the three correct answers.(2 points)
kari74 [83]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

What can scientists learn from magnetic striping patterns? Select the three correct answers.

1. the cause of magnetic pole reversals

2. the year the next magnetic reversal will take place

3. the location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity

4. the exact location of the next earthquake along the California coast

5. the direction plates are moving relative to each other

6. the speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate

Answer:

The direction plates are moving relative to each other

The speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate

The location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity

Explanation:

Magnetic striping patterns are very valuable systems for understanding the factors that promote polar variability of the ocean floor. This is because these systems are formed exactly by changes in this polarity, presenting lines (similar to a zebra), which allow scientists to interpret them and have valuable information about the movement of the direction plates towards each other, the speed that a plate reaches the subduz below another plate and the location and old faults that were caused by the existence of seismic activities.

N which side of a mountain is precepitation most likely to occur
sdas [7]
<span>The windward side (as opposed to the leeward side). This is the side facing the prevailing wind, where the air is forced up the mountain where it must cool, condense, and precipitate out its moisture. As it passes the mountain it will sink, whereby it compresses and warms, which is not conducive to precipitation or even clouds.

Hope this helps you with your question :P</span>
