Why are the magnetic lineations identical on either side of the mid-ocean ridge?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

because volcanoes in the center of the ridge push the pre-existing seafloor on either side of it away from it at equal speeds  

also when the earth's polarity flips, the crystals on either side of the spreading center are affected equally, so the bands are always the same distance from the ocean ridge

also because when the magma solidifies (which is what "freezes in" the magnetic orientation), the magnetic field of the earth exerts the same force on both sides of the ridge (the midline of the spreading).

The sea floor of which of the following oceans has the simplest and most symmetric pattern of age distribution? Group of answer
Alex777 [14]

Answer: The Pacific Ocean

Explanation: The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's oceanic divisions and it extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean in the south and it is bounded by the continents of Asia and Australia in the west and the Americas in the east.

It has the largest division of the World Ocean and it covers about 46% of Earth's water surface and about one-third of its total surface area, making it larger than all of Earth's land area combined.

There are about 25,000 islands in the Pacific Ocean and the Islands are of four basic types: continental islands, high islands, coral reefs and uplifted coral platforms.

The Pacific is almost surrounded by subduction zones which makes it more complex to study its history.

Describe two distinct aspects on how photorespiration can adversely impact life on the planet.
Volgvan

Answer:

<u>photorespiration </u>also called as the <u>photosynthesis </u>of plant metabolisms,

Explanation:

  • Green plants use enzymes and carbon dioxide on sunlight to create oxygen through this process by recycling of carbon and nitrogen as ammonia.
  • Conditions that impact the process are the lowering of Carbon dioxide and the increase in Oxygen in air, another aspect is the rise in temperature that determines the presence of these gases.
  • Thus reducing the concentration of carbon and increasing oxygen in the chloroplast. Reducing the amount of photorespiration does not result in increased growth rates of plants. Photorespiration increases the availability of nitrates in the soil which can increase carbon dioxide in the air and increase pant growth.
  • The deficient in photorespiratory enzymes can be characterized by a high level of fat in the cell and impaired stomatal regulation in plants.
