Which information is needed to construct a geomagnetic time scale?

Biology

Answer:

the magnetic direction of rocks along the surface of Earth and the age of rocks along the surface of Earth

Explanation:

The earth's magnetic field or geomagnetic field is believed to originate from the movement of molten iron and nickel in the outer core.

During a period in which the earth magnetic field is normal, crystallising magnetic minerals in magma records the orientation of the prevailing geomagnetic field. At other times when the field reverses and the magnetic field orientation changes, magnetic minerals in cooling magma stores this record.

To create a geomagnetic time scale, geologists can assign absolute ages to the records of these paleomagnetic anomalies which are the reversals. The rock is dated using radiometric techniques and each period of reversal is ascribed an absolute geologic age. Therefore, the magnetic direction of rocks along the surface of Earth and the age of rocks along the surface of Earth helps to build the geomagnetic time scale of the earth.

Andre45 [30]

the answer to your question is the amount of time and the effect it has on each material as well as the fact that the nitrogen cannot change it is an unchangeable variable whereas everything else the time, the substance of the subject, the possible formation of nodules can change without changing the identity of the experiment itself otherwise, you have a dependent variable. I hope this helps :-)

MaRussiya [10]

Answer: 1 : 2 : 1

Explanation:

Carbohydrates were originally referred to as 'hydrates of carbon' because they contained hydrogen, oxygen and carbon.

Sugars, starches, cellulose, and gums all belong to the class of carbohydrates.

They are represented by the general formula Cx(H2O)y, where x and y must be whole numbers.

Thus, Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio 1 : 2 : 1
