how the magnetic patterns on the ocean floor formed?
No, they go down too easily and suddenly on a little sand. When I was a kid, everybody who got a vespa soon broke a collarbone. I love vespas, and have owned a couple, but you have to treat them with respect. If you are cavalier, they will bite you.
No, hard to be seen. You cant hear them. Lighter so if a car hits you more damage will be done. Some scooters depending on the size can barely keep up with traffic. You'd be better off going with a cruiser or sport bike.
At divergent plate boundaries, such as the North Atlantic ridge, new sea floor is being continuously formed as the tectonic plates pull apart. The new sea floor consists of molten rock pushing up from below. As more sea floor forms the older floor is pushed further and further from the plate boundary. The new rock is basalt, which contains among other things, tiny crystals of magnetic materials such as magnetite. Above about 500 degrees C these magnetic materials are not magnetic. As they cool below the Curie temperature, they become magnetic and are magnetized by the earth magnetic field. Their magnetism is frozen into the alignment of the earth's magnetic field at the time of cooling. As the new sea floor moves away from the divergent boundary, it forms the characteristic pattern of magnetic stripes.
No, they don't handle as well as a motorcycle, and the tires are normally smaller as well reducing your footprint on the street. Less rubber down, less traction available.
