As greenhouse gases trap more energy from the sun, the oceans are absorbing more heat, resulting in an increase in sea surface temperatures and rising sea level. Changes in ocean temperatures and currents brought about by climate change will lead to alterations in climate patterns around the world.

Suppose you are a scientist setting off to explore the Pacific Ocean seafloor. Predict the pattern of landforms and rock ages you might find there. Give your reasoning.
Answer:
by looking at patterns in the rocks, including magnetic patterns, and by looking at the geomagnetic reversal time scale. New material is constantly being pushed up from deep below the surface to form the ridge. The ridge is like a mountain growing in the sea.
Explanation:
The age pattern is symmetric. Youngest ages are at the middle of the pattern (on the oceanic ridges) and the seafloor grows older moving outwards to each side of the middle.
The pattern of landforms and rock ages one might find in the Pacific Ocean seafloor is the symmetric pattern.
The Pacific Ocean seafloor are known as continental slopes and are possible because the plates therein keeps moving apart, thus, creating a new seafloor ridge.
The youngest ages are usually at the middle of the pattern (on the oceanic ridges) while the seafloor grows older moving outwards to each side of the middle.In conclusion, the pattern of landforms and rock ages one might find in the Pacific Ocean seafloor is the symmetric pattern.
