How do scientist date seafloor rocks?

Scientists date sea-floor rocks by looking at patterns in the rocks, including magnetic patterns, and by looking at the geomagnetic reversal time scale.

No, its erosion that causes rocks to change


Why does some rocks have patterns?

Rocks can have patterns due to various geological processes, including sedimentation, crystallization, and metamorphism. As sediments accumulate over time, they can form distinct layers that create patterns when lithified into sedimentary rocks. Additionally, the cooling and solidification of magma can result in crystalline structures with unique patterns. Metamorphic processes can further alter existing rocks, leading to new textures and designs.


How does the weight of the earths crust help to form metamorpic rocks?

Weight causes density, density causes pressure, pressure causes heat. Heat and pressure change rocks into other rocks, which are metamophic.


What are rocks that have grains that lie in a pattern of flat layers or form swirls?

Rocks with grains that lie in flat layers are sedimentary rocks, which include sandstone and shale. Rocks with swirling patterns are often metamorphic rocks, such as gneiss or marble, which have undergone intense heat and pressure causing their minerals to align in distinct patterns.

Talk about the patterns you can find in sedimentary rocks. Where do you see these patterns?

Sedimentary rock is formed when many rocks are broken into small pieces by erosion, after a long time the small rocks fuse together and become a rock with many different layers.
