How does one acquire rock samples of the ocean floor?
Deep ocean floor samples can be obtained by submersibles.
Iron rich volcanic rock that makes up much of the ocean floor is?
The volcanic rock that makes up most of the ocean floor is called sediment.
How do strips of magnetized rock on the ocean floor provide evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Strips of ocean-floor basalt record the polarity of earth's magnetic field at the time the rock formed. These strips form a pattern that is the same on both sides of the mid-ocean ridge. the pattern shows that ocean floor forms along mid-ocean ridges and then moves away from the ridge.
Rock on the ocean floor provided the final proof of sea -floor spreading with a record of?
Pangaea probably?
Where is sea floor spreading?
i don't remember exactly, but i think its when magma melts the rock so it becomes magma, then the magma will come back up forming new rock, and push the old rock and it will melt and turn into magma. its like a cycle. but im not positive so my answer could be wrong.
What step in the rock cycle would be required to change granite into sand stone?
Grant particles settle on the ocean floor
What happen to the oldest rock on the ocean floor to continue the rock cycle?
Or they get subducted and re-enter the mantle or they get obducted onto continent (the latter being called an ophiolite).
How does one acquire rock samples of the ocean floor?
Deep ocean floor samples can be obtained by submersibles.
How is new rock added to the ocean floor?
usually from lava sinking to ocean floor and cooling.
What type of rock is organic rock?
An Organic rock is an Sedimentary rock and it is made in the ocean from calcium and other minerals building up on the ocean floor :)
Iron rich volcanic rock that makes up much of the ocean floor is?
The volcanic rock that makes up most of the ocean floor is called sediment.
The magnetic record in the rock on the ocean floor depends on when the rock was?
i dont know

On the ocean floor where is the oldest rock?
The oldest rock in oceanic crust is that which is found the greatest distance from a mid-ocean-ridge.
Do minerals come from the ocean?
yes, the minerals come from rock chimneys on the ocean floor
A rock that makes up much of the ocean floor?
basalt
You find a rock deep in the ocean that contains a fossil What kind of rock is this?
Sedimentary is found below the ocean floor or area with water
