Magnetic reversals C. PROVIDE STRONG EVIDENCE FOR SEAFLOOR SPREADING.

Magnetic reversal is evident when the <span>change in the Earth's magnetic </span><span>field results in the magnetic </span><span>north being aligned with the geographic south, and the magnetic </span><span>south being aligned with the geographic north. It is also called geomagnetic reversal</span><span>.</span>

Magnetic reversals can occur in less than 100 years. It led to extinction events during the pre-historic times. Because the magnetic field is rapidly weakening, magnetic reversal may cause biblical floods.

The answer is C.

Seafloor spreading occurs at diverging tectonic plates boundaries (such as at mid-ocean ridges). When magma upwells to fill up the void, the iron in the magma aligns itself with earth’s magnetic fields  before the magma cools to new crust. Since earth's north and south switch polarity over several centuries, the iron in newly formed crust will align opposite from the previously formed crust. These reversals can be used to prove that the bands of the new crust were laid at different times.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

C. parvum takes energy from glucose which is present in the digestive tract after the process of glycolysis.

Lactate dehydrogenase which is responsible for the conversion of lactate into pyruvate molecule.

Explanation:

C. parvum is a protozoa that lives as a parasite in the digestive tract of animals. They take nutrients from the cell which are present in the form of glucose. C. parvum uses a specific type of enzyme i. e. lactate dehydrogenase which is responsible for the conversion of lactate into pyruvate and also helps in the production of ATP through glycolysis process. In this process, the glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate, two molecules of ATP, two molecules of NADH, and two molecules of water. So C. parvum takes ATP from that way from the host cells.

The expansion of grasses during the Oligocene and Miocene Epochs led to
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The answer is:

D. the radiation of herbivores such as grazing animals

Explanation:

Oligocene and Miocene Epochs:

  • The Oligocene epoch is characterized by temperate and subtropical climatic conditions which favored the expansion of grasses and reduced forest cover.
  • The Miocene epoch, which succeeded the Oligocene era, is attributed to changes in global circulation due to global warming of the climate followed by global cooling towards the end.

The Oligocence and Miocene epoch are both attributed to the expansion of grasslands and savannah. Both eras marked rapid and drastic evolutionary changes in grazing mammals and herbivores. Diverse groups of grazing mammals lived throughout these eras. For example, the largest herbivore and land mammal of all time, <em>Indricotherium</em> (a sort of giant hornless rhinoceros), was present in the Oligocene era.

Similarly, the Oligocene era in North America favored the rapid radiation of primitive horses.

Pepsi [2]

The correct answer is: A. Species A had more massive jaw muscles than species.

Massive jaw muscles are correlated to more primitive diet. It is believed that shrinking jaw muscles is part of the evolution. It is the way for making the space for a bigger brain.
