Marine Biology Chapter 2 test

This World War II technology allowed Dr. Hess to collect data on the age of the ocean floor. This data provided evidence for:

• Continental Drift

• Einstein's Theory of Relativity

• The Doppler Effect

• The Theory of Evolution

What happens when Subduction occurs?

• Parts of the crust fall into the mantle
• Parts of the crust fall into the core
• Parts of the crust fall into space
• None of the Above

The diagram shows the magnetic polarity (they look like zebra stripes) of the seafloor at the Mid-Ocean Ridge. Which of the following statements is true about the magnetic polarity pattern of the ridge?

• Stripes of normal polarity and reversed polarity DO NOT alternate across the ocean bottom.

• Stripes form mirror images (are symmetrical) on either side of the mid-ocean ridges

• Stripes form different images on either side of the mid-ocean ridges

• there is not a pattern that is created
