The rocks of the ocean floor are not consistent and do show past reversal of polarity. The statement in the question is false.

What role to polarity and action potential play in sending out nervous signals?

Polarity refers to the difference in charge across a neuron's membrane, which is essential for generating an action potential. When a neuron is stimulated, depolarization occurs, leading to a rapid influx of sodium ions and a transient reversal of polarity. This action potential propagates along the axon, allowing the transmission of electrical signals. Ultimately, the action potential triggers neurotransmitter release at the synapse, facilitating communication between neurons.


What branch of science studies heat and magnetism?

Physics is the branch of science that studies heat and magnetism, along with other fundamental forces and interactions in the universe. This includes fields such as thermodynamics for heat and electromagnetism for magnetism.

How do rocks along the central valley of the mid ocean ridge provide evidence for sea floor spreading?

because the scientists found that the farther the rocks the older the rocks were. so the youngest rocks were found near the mid-ocean ridge. this showed that sea-floor spreading took place. +++ The primary evidence is "magnetic striping": remnant magnetising by the Earth's magnetic field of the iron compounds in the basalt forming the ocean floor. The magnetic traces are parallel to the spreading-ridges, and their polarity reflect the field's periodic reversal. The further from the ridge, the older the stripes. The rock is imprinted with the magnetism as it cools below a certain point in being eruped along the ridge.


Does steel retain magnetism better than iron?

Yes, steel retains magnetism better than iron because it is an alloy that contains iron along with other elements like carbon. The addition of other elements in steel helps to stabilize and strengthen the magnetic properties, making it more effective at retaining magnetism compared to pure iron.


What happened to the iron filings magnetism after several shakes?

After several shakes, the iron filings lose their organized alignment with the magnetic field of the magnet. Initially, they align along the magnetic lines of force, demonstrating their magnetism. However, the shaking disrupts this order, causing the filings to scatter and lose their magnetic orientation. As a result, they may no longer visibly demonstrate magnetism unless re-aligned by the magnetic field.
