QUESTION S How does the evidence known as magnetic striping help us understand plate tectonics? O Deposition of ocean-bottom sediments occurs in layers or stripes with thicker sediments closer to the mid-ocean ridge. O Past reversals in Earth's polarity are reflected in the mirror-image pattern of magnetic minerals in ocean crust on the two sides of a mid-ocean ridge. O The stripes on the sea floors show locations of past land bridges that once connected the continents. O Magnetic minerals in rocks at fault zones indicate the relative motion along the fault.Explanation / Answer
Q...3...South america and africa were part of ------which split apart due to continental rifting and seperated populations of organisams including Mesosaurus,Lystrosaurus,Glossopteris
Ans...Pangea.
Q...4...The process of tetonic rifting -------is studied at mid ocean range because these are regions where new rocks are created due to plate tectonics activity
Ans...weakening in the crust and upwelling of magma
