What are strips of alternating magnetic polarities found in rocks in the ocean basins?
These strips are known as magnetic stripes, and they are formed by the alignment of magnetic minerals in the oceanic crust as it cools and solidifies. The alternating pattern of polarities reflects regular changes in Earth's magnetic field over time, providing evidence for seafloor spreading and plate tectonics.
What are rocks with stripes called?
Rocks with stripes are known as banded rocks or striped rocks. These stripes are often caused by the layering of different minerals or the presence of alternating bands of different mineral compositions within the rock.
Cartographers can represent the spherical Earth on flat paper?
Cartographers use map projections to represent the curved surface of the Earth on a flat map. Different map projections distort the size, shape, distance, or direction of features on the map to varying degrees. Each projection has its strengths and weaknesses depending on the purpose of the map.
What are magnetic stripes on the seafloor?
Magnetic stripes on the seafloor are alternating bands of magnetized rock that form parallel to mid-ocean ridges. These stripes are a result of Earth's magnetic field changing direction over time and getting preserved in the rocks as they cool and solidify. They provide evidence for seafloor spreading and plate tectonics.
The pattern of magnetic reversals along the sides of mid-ocean ridges resembles?
The pattern of magnetic reversals along the sides of mid-ocean ridges resembles stripes that alternate in polarity, created as new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and records the Earth's changing magnetic field. These magnetic stripes provide evidence for seafloor spreading and plate tectonics.
