According to Hess’s theory, what might happen if the magma under a mid-ocean ridge cools? The magnetic stripes might reverse direction. The deep-ocean trench might become deeper. The crust at the ridge might form more quickly. The plates on either side of the ridge might stop moving.

In the practice of science, this type of reasoning is used to develop explanations.

One of the newest applications of cell technology is called cybrid embryos. this process involves replacing the nuclear material of an animal cell with human nuclear material. how might this process affect public policies about research by using stem cells? the same policies and concerns about the use of human embryonic stem cells would most likely apply. the embryos would most likely be treated like traditional animal embryos and regulated accordingly. the process of forming cybrid embryos would most likely be banned by government regulators. the embryos would be treated as regular cells because they are not fully human in origin.

The diagram below shows the layers of a rock having a trilobite: a rock column labeled rock is shown. the column has three layers. the bottommost layer of the rock has one shaded rhomboid shape, the middle layer has a rhombus with a diagonal along with two identical organisms marked as, trilobite, in the key, the top layer has two semicircles. a key is shown on the right side of the diagram. the shaded rhombus is marked as a, the rhombus with the diagonal is marked as b, the semicircle is marked as c which statement about the rock fossils is true?
