When Studying the ocean floor scientists found rocks showing what?

Scientists found out about normal polarity and reverse polarity. Normal polarity is when the North Pole is south and the South Pole is north and reverse polarity is the opposite. The magnetic bands are different colors for normal and reverse polarity. This can cause sea-floor spreading.

Alternating bands

What kinds of magnetism did scientists finds while studying the ocean floor?
While studying the ocean floor, scientists found alternating bands of magnetism. Each band is magnetized with a polarity that is opposite the surrounding bands.
Why do scientists look to sedimentary rocks when studying the history of the Earth?
The vast majority of fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
What can scientists learn about from fossils found in sea floor sediment?
The climate at the time the fossile was preserved. :)
Unicellular organisms sometimes found in hot springs?
There ARE actually! Scientists are currently studying them and are observing that they don't follow several of the characteristics of life. They are not bacteria and are different from any other kingdom. It is being debated and disscussed and the scientists may decide to establish a new, sixth kingdom.
Why the astronomers observe stars?
Stars are like the bread crumbs left by the Big Bang. By studying stars scientists get to know the elements that are found in them and how are they connected to us. They also teach us the way the universe works. They illuminate the darkest secrets of the universe.

What did scientist discovere when they analyzed the magnetic bands on the ocean floor?
Scientists found Alternating bands of magnetism.
Are xenomorphs real?
Yes, military scientists have have found these creatures and been studying them for a while, as well a other aliens i.e. Greys and Martians.
What ended the monotony of the crew members who were studying the television screen?
Pictures, or scattered debris on the floor of the ocean appeared.
Why are scientists interested in studying meteorites?
so they can find out about the early solar system and how planets were formed
Was King Tutankhamuns tomb open when it was found?
no it wasnt ,but grave robbers stole from it opening it. scientists know this because they found gold braclets and a bag of gold items on the floor. d.b.d
What are the Three ideas scientist have found to support ocean floor spreading from the ridge?
The first one is the sonar used to map out sensed mountains,the second one is scientists found strange rocks shaped like pillows in the central valley of the mid-ocean ridge and the last one is scientists discovered that the rock that makes up the ocean floor lies in pattern of magnetizied "stripes"

What planet were scientist studying when they found neptune?
Astronomers were actually studying another planet, Uranus.
