Magnetic patterns develop on the seafloor as basaltic lava erupts and cools, and ______.
BartSMP [9]

<u>Iron-rich minerals align with the Earth's magnetic field</u> as basaltic lava erupts, cools, and forms magnetic patterns on the seabed.

Lava is molten rock that emerges as a liquid from under the Earth's surface. The term "lava" is also used to describe the rock that is generated when molten lava cools and solidifies. Either the substance is exceedingly stiff and barely flows, or it might be incredibly fluid, flowing nearly like syrup. The viscosity of the lava increases with silica concentration.

Hawaiian terms pahoehoe and aa (or a'a) refer to flows that are often formed by mafic (ferromagnesian, dark-colored) lavas like basalt. Smooth, subtly undulating, or extensively hummocky surfaces define Pahoehoe lava flows. A thin, still-plastic crust is dragged and wrinkled into twisted rope-like folds and rolls by the flowing molten lava beneath it.

These are intense, rotating convectional systems that develop over warm ocean areas in the tropics and subtropics, primarily dur
romanna [79]

Answer:

The correct Answer is A) Tropical Cyclones  

Explanation:

Tropical cyclones, hurricanes or typhoons form when convection causes warm, moist air above the ocean to rise. They begin as a group of storms when the water gets as hot as 80 °F (27 °C) or hotter. <em>The Coriolis effect</em> made by the Earth's rotation causes the winds to rotate.

The Coriolis effect refers to how a moving object seems to tilt toward the right in the Northern hemisphere and left in the Southern hemisphere. An example of the Coriolis effect is hurricane winds turning left in the Northern hemisphere.

Tropical cyclones can be found in the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean, and sometimes in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
