the magnetic pattern on the sea floor
Which best describes the composition of the ocean floor?
The ocean floor generally consists of basalt cooled from magma, and the overlying layers of sediment, both inorganic and organic.
Why do scientist look to the ocean floor to research the mantle?
Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle? Because magma from the mantle flows out of active volcanoes on the ocean floor. These underwater volcanoes have given scientists many clues about the composition of the mantle.
