First related the symmetrical magnetic patterns in seafloor basalts to seafloor spreading at a mid-ocean ridge?
Lawrence W. Morley, Frederick John Vine, and Drummond Hoyle Matthews were the first to tie magnetic stripe anomalies to seafloor spreading. The magnetic anomalies was the first evidence that supported the theory of seafloor spreading.
What do magnetic anomalies provide evidence of?
seafloor spreading
Who first related the symmetrical magnetic patterns in seafloor basalt to seafloor spreading at a mid ocean ridge?
Vine and Matthews
Magnetic striping is evidence of?
pole reversals seafloor spreading
What was the theory that was shown to be correct by age evidence and magnetic clues?
Magnetic Reversal
How does magnetic reversals provide evidence for seafloor spreading?
Because of the stripes at the sea floor which are magnetic minerals
What are three types of seafloor spreading?
evidence from molten material evidence from magnetic stripes evidence from drilling samples
What did the magnetic strips prove in seafloor spreading?
They proved that the seafloor was spreading.
What are two pieces of evidence for sea-floor spreading?
Magnetic stripes and absolute ages of seafloor basalt.
Which evidence causes most scientists to believe that seafloor spreading occurs at the mid-atlantic ridge?
Oceanic crust on both sides ofthe ridge shows matching patterns of reversed and normal magnetic polarity
Is there evidence that seafloor-spreading?
its not happy
