How do magnetic patterns in the rocks along the mid-oceanic ridges explain seafloor spreading? A.


As oceanic crust sank beneath continental crust, the cooling rocks aligned with the earth's magnetic field, which periodically reversed. This periodic pattern was seen on one side of a mid-oceanic ridge.


B.


As new crust was added to the seafloor, the cooling rocks aligned with the earth's magnetic field, which periodically reversed. This periodic pattern was seen on one side of a mid-oceanic ridge.


C.


As new crust was added to the seafloor, the cooling rocks aligned with the earth's magnetic field, which periodically reversed. This periodic pattern was symmetrical on both sides of a mid-oceanic ridge.


D.


As oceanic crust sank beneath other oceanic crust, the cooling rocks aligned with the earth's magnetic field, which periodically reversed. This periodic pattern was seen on one side of a mid-oceanic ridge.

Answers

Explain sea breeze , and land breeze and the direction they blow RELATED TO AIR PRESSURE.

Answers

A sea breeze describes a wind that blows from the ocean inland towards land. This breeze occurs most often in the spring and summer months because of the greater temperature differences between the ocean and nearby land, particularly in the afternoon when the land is at maximum heating from the sun
Well sea brezze is from the ocean and lad brezze is mostly from wind and and air pressure is the high winds

Human systems, one of the six essential elements of geography, can best be described as the study of __________. A. where people live and what cultures they create B. where things are located in relation to one another C. how people group places into regions D. how the Earth’s natural environments are changing

Answers

Answer:

Correct Answer is A. Where People live and what cultures they create

Explanation:

The term Human systems Briefly summarize one of the main elements in Geographic Studies: The Human Geography. This element in geography studies how humans behave with their environment and with other human beings, how the communities behave, what is their culture, how they have changed the Landscape, what historic processes the community suffered. This element is one of the six subjects of geographic study:

1. The world in spatial terms (lat, long, positioning)

2. Places and Regions ( differences between one space and another)

3. Physical Systems ( Natural changes, Biosphere)

4.Human systems (Human geography)

5. Environment and society (Anthropic effects on the environment)

6. Uses of geography (combining the other elements to understand past, present, and future)
A... I think haha... human geography is the study of human interaction with each other and the environment they are apart of, so it sounded like the best answer choice in my opinion.
