At right angles to the ocean ridge.
Magnetic pattern of ocean floor rocks on one side of an ocean ridge is.
These patterns of stripes provide the history of seafloor spreading.
Isochron maps of the seafloor indicate that ocean crust is youngest near ocean ridges.
The magnetic pattern of ocean floor rocks on one side of an ocean ridge is.
Much different from the magnetic pattern found in rocks on land d.
The magnetic pattern of ocean floor rocks on one side of an ocean ridge is a mirror image of that of the other side.
When these magnetic patterns were mapped over a wide region the ocean floor showed a zebra like pattern.
Alternating stripes of magnetically different rock were laid out in rows on either side of the mid ocean ridge.
The magnetic pattern of ocean floor rocks on one side of an ocean ridge is.
Younger than on the other side c.
This dence colder seafloor begins to sink helping to form the mid ocean ridge.
The rocks on either side of a mid ocean ridge record the direction of the earth s magnetic field at the time they were formed and form a pattern of magnetic stripes on either side of the ridge.
The magnetic pattern of ocean floor rocks on one side of an ocean ridge is a mirror image of that of the other side isochron maps of the seafloor indicate that ocean crust is.
A mirror image of that of the other side b.
That were currently present in the are the presences of similar.
The theory of explains how new crust is.
Basalt the once molten rock that makes up most new oceanic crust is a fairly magnetic substance and scientists began using magnetometers to measure the magnetism of the ocean floor in the 1950s what they discovered was that the magnetism of the ocean floor around.
The strips on the atlantic ocean floor in particular all seemed parallel to the mid atlantic ridge that is a volcanic ridge running roughly north to south with some zigs and zags halfway between europe africa and america.
A n is used to measure and record the magnetic signature of the rocks on the seafloor.
One stripe with normal polarity and the adjoining stripe with reversed polarity.
The magnetic pattern of raocean floor rocks on one side of an ocean ridge is a.
A vast underwater mountain chain is called a n.
A mirror image of that of the other side.
This creates a symmetrical pattern of magnetic stripes of opposite polarity on either side of mid ocean ridges.
In the ocean floor the magnetization was orderly arranged in long strips.
