What is it called when rocks are different because Earths magnetic poles change places?
Magnetic Reversal. Several magnetic reversals have occurred over geologic time.
What is magnetic striping evidence of?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
Which aspect of magnetic reversal provides evidence of continental drift?
Periodically, the magnetic field of the earth reverses polarity. The direction of the magnetic field is recorded in the magnetic properties of rocks when they are erupted. Rocks are being continuously added at sea floor spreading regions, and thus the magnetic reversals are recorded as pairs of parallel 'stripes' alongside the mid ocean spreading ridge.
Magnetic reversals have helped to support?
The reversal of the poles on a magnet, put simply.,
Which body in our solar system magnetic pole reversals?
the sun
How is the polarity of Earth's magnetic field recorded in the sea floor?
The polarity of the Earth's magnetic field is recorded in igneous rocks, and reversals.
How were the reversals of the Earth's magnetic field discovered?
The reversals were seen by archeologists in ancient pottery shards.
Describe how the polarity of earth's magnetic field is recorded in the sea-floor?
The polarity of the Earth's magnetic field is recorded in igneous rocks, and reversals.
What is it called when rocks are different because Earths magnetic poles change places?
Magnetic Reversal. Several magnetic reversals have occurred over geologic time.
How do earths magnetic pole reversals provide evidence for tectonics?
rocks get older as you move away from ocean ridges
What are Other than earth is also known to have magnetic pole reversals?
The sun (correct for Apex) :)
Magnetic striping is evidence of?
pole reversals seafloor spreading
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 is magnetic striping evidence?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
What Magnetic striping evidence of?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
Magnetic striping of evidence of?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
What is magnetic striping evidence of?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
