Magnetometer data across a mid-ocean ridge shows alternating bands of?

As rocks cool past the curie point, they tend to become magnetized in the direction that the earths field is point at that time. The earths magnetic field has reversed many times in the past. The mid ocean ridge is a place where the plates are spreading apart and new hot material is welling up. This makes stripes of rocks that are magnetized in alternating directions.
