What causes the magnetic striping noticed about the mid ocean ridges?
These "stripes" formed the pattern known as magnetic striping. ... They hypothesized that the magnetic striping was produced from the generation of magma at mid-ocean ridges during alternating periods of normal and reversed magnetism by the magnetic reversals of the Earth's magnetic field.
How do parallel stripes near mid-ocean ridges form?
These stripes often called zebra stripes, due to the alternating colors of the original magnetometer readings. When the first observations were made, it is directly related to two processes geomagnetic reversals and seafloor spreading.
Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
How is the formation of mid-ocean ridges and trenches different?
Stop trying to cheat on ur homework
What is a oceanic ridges?
a ridge in the ocean
How do earths magnetic pole reversals provide evidence for plate tectonics?
Magnetic stripes can be seen as you move away from ocean ridges.
The pattern of magnetic reversals along the sides of mid-ocean ridges resembles?
Stripes on a zebra. I would know since I had this same question on an assignment. :)

The seafloor magnetic pattern is best described as?
parallel to and symmetric about ocean ridges
Where does seafloor spreading take place?
Mid-Ocean ridges.
What has casued the zebra pattern in the rock of the ocean floor?
The pattern only appears in images of magnetic field intensity, not really visible. Caused by changes in Earth's magnetic field over time especially reversals of the magnetic poles. "Stripes" represents different ages of rocks as they spread from mid-ocean ridges. Magnetic properties of lavas are set when they cool down and minerals such as magnetite crystallize.
