How does magnetic reversals provide evidence for seafloor spreading?
Because of the stripes at the sea floor which are magnetic minerals
How magnetic reversals provide evidence for sea floor spreading?
Because of the stripes at the sea floor which are magnetic minerals
Is the analysis of seafoor sediments evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Not really but sea floor sediments thickness increase with increased distance from spreading centers which is good evidence. Other evidence such as magnetic reversals, temperature, dating methods provide the best evidence of seafloor spreading
What do magnetic anomalies provide evidence of?
seafloor spreading
How do earths magnetic pole reversals provide evidence for tectonics?
rocks get older as you move away from ocean ridges
How do ocean basin magnetic reversals prove plate tectonics exists?
They technically don't. They do provide evidence for it, however, in that they occur in pairs on either side of a rift, providing strong evidence that the rocks on either side were deposited at the same time and that the rifts are spreading.
Why do Earth's magnetic pole reversals provide evidence for plate tectonics?
Rocks lock in their magnetism when they cool.
Strips of alternating magnetic polarities found in rocks in the ocean basins?
