Magnetometer data across a mid-ocean ridge shows alternating bands of?

As rocks cool past the curie point, they tend to become magnetized in the direction that the earths field is point at that time. The earths magnetic field has reversed many times in the past. The mid ocean ridge is a place where the plates are spreading apart and new hot material is welling up. This makes stripes of rocks that are magnetized in alternating directions.


On a map of the seafloor the boundaries between normally magnetized oceanic crust and reversely magnetized oceanic crust are called?

These boundaries are called magnetic anomalies, where the Earth's magnetic field has shifted relative to the seafloor rocks. These anomalies are used to study the history of plate tectonics and Earth's magnetic field reversals.


What does iron ore and lodestone look like?

Iron ore typically appears as reddish-brown rocks or dark, metallic ores that can be magnetized. Lodestone, a naturally magnetized form of magnetite, appears as dark, irregularly shaped stones with magnetic properties. Both can vary in appearance depending on their mineral composition and location.
