What effect did pollution have in the population in the Chesapeake Bay estuary

Biology
1 answer:
goldfiish [28.3K]3 years ago
6 0

Airborne nitrogen is one of the largest sources of pollution affecting the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Excess nitrogen can fuel the growth of algae blooms, which can block sunlight from reaching underwater grasses and create low-oxygen “dead zones” that suffocate marine life.

The magnetic particles in seafloor ridges are aligned differently in a repeating pattern. How
Mademuasel [1]

A. Earth's magnetic field reverses over time;  the changes show that seafloor spreading  has taken place over time.

Explanation:

The pattern of the magnetic minerals in seafloor ridges are aligned in a repeating pattern because the earth's magnetic field reverses overtime.

This provides evidence because the changes shows that the sea floor spreading has taken place over time.

  • The concept of sea floor spreading was first suggested by Harry Hess in the early 1960's.
  • Using sophisticated tools, he was able to discover stripe patterns of magnetic minerals in rocks.
  • The earth can be likened to a giant bar magnet
  • The geomagnetic field originates from the core where the movement of molten metals induces magnetism.
  • In a fresh cooling magma, the metallic minerals are able to align their domains with the prevailing magnetic field.
  • At some point the magnetic field is normal with a very strong intensity. At other times the intensity is low and it reverses.
  • The minerals keeps track of the changes.
  • This leads to striped pattern that has been used to suggest sea floor spreading.
