What else can I help you with?
True or False the magnetic orientation of a rock is determined when the rock solidifies?
True. The magnetic orientation of a rock is locked in when the rock solidifies and cools below a certain temperature known as the Curie point. This is due to the alignment of magnetic minerals in the rock with the Earth's magnetic field at the time of solidification.
How is the orientation of Earth's magnetism recorded in rocks on the ocean floor?
Earths magnetic orientation is locked into the rock when the rock cools
What is magnetic orientation of rock?
Magnetic orientation of rock refers to the alignment of magnetic minerals within the rock with the Earth's magnetic field at the time of formation. This alignment can provide information about the past magnetic field of the Earth and help in determining the rock's age and geological history.
A type of rock formed when molten rock solidfies?
Ignious rock
The orientation of a rock’s magnetic field can tell you its?
The orientation of a rock's magnetic field can tell you the direction in which the rock was formed, as the magnetic minerals in the rock align themselves with the Earth's magnetic field at the time of formation. It can provide insights into the geological history of the rock, including its age and past movements.
How is the orientation of earths magnetism recorded in rocks on the?
Earth's magnetic orientation is locked into the rock when the rock cools
How is the orientation of earths magnetics recorded in the rocks on the ocean?
Earths magnetic orientation is locked into the rock when the rock cools
What does the magnetic dip preserved in a rock indicate?
The magnetic dip preserved in a rock indicates the orientation of the Earth's magnetic field at the time the rock was formed. This information can be used to determine the past position of the rock relative to the magnetic poles and can provide insights into the Earth's changing magnetic field over time.
Bands of rock the seafloor showing alternating magnetic orientation indicate earth's magnetic field has?
reversed itself in the past. hth :)
What can the orientation of a rocks magnetic field can tell you?
The orientation of a rock's magnetic field can provide information about the rock's formation and past geological processes. It can indicate the rock's original position when it formed, whether it has been subjected to tectonic movements or heating events, and reveal the Earth's magnetic field at the time of the rock's formation.
What happenes to the magnetic orientation of rock as the poles reverse?
There is nothing -_-
Why does volcanic rock magnetize?
Volcanic rock, especially basalt, contains some iron. When the rock is still molten the particles of iron are free to move, but are influenced by Earth's magnetic field. When the lava hardens into rock these iron particles are locked in place, essentially recording the orientation of Earth's magnetic field.
