What is magnetic striping evidence of?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
What s at the bottom of the earth?
We know that the sea floor is composed of old basaltic rock called SIMA . The sea floor mostly contains sand (which came from a continent ) , some marine sediment, continental sediment and some types of sediment . We also get some resources from the sea floor, like petroleum, and some marine resources, but then again the sea floor is the least explored thing on our planet. Answer: You can also find starfish at the bottom of the sea floor. Along with seaweed and other plants that grow on the sea floor.
Describe how magnetism is used to support the theory of seafloor spreading?
New material is added to the sea floor when sea floor spreading occurs. When the iron cools it is magnetized by the magnetic field of the earth.
How do rocks along the central valley of the mid-ocean ridge provide evidence of sea- floor spreading?
Rocks along the central valley of the mid-ocean ridge display symmetrical patterns of magnetic striping where new oceanic crust is formed. This occurs as magma is extruded along the ridge, creating a record of Earth's changing magnetic field over time. The alternating magnetic polarity of these rocks provides concrete evidence for sea-floor spreading and the movement of tectonic plates.
Process in which new sea floor forms as older sea floor is pulled apart?
sea-floor spreading
What is magnetic striping evidence of?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
What Magnetic striping evidence of?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
What is magnetic striping evidence?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
Magnetic striping of evidence of?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
What does the presence of the sea floor spreading indicate?
a divergent plate boundary.
What could sea floor spreading produce?
earth quakes
Was the theory of sea floor spreading proved?
Yes, the theory of sea floor spreading was confirmed through the discovery of mid-ocean ridges, magnetic striping patterns on the ocean floor, and the study of ages of oceanic crust. This evidence supported the idea that new crust is continually created at mid-ocean ridges and spreads away from them.
What does sea-floor spreading?
It means underwater moutain chains that run through Earth's ocean floor
How many is the Earth's crust divided into?
Sea floor spreading theory
Which layers of the earth are involved in sea-floor spreading?
Oceanic crust
How did research about the sea floor in the second half of the 1900s affect scientific thought about continental drift?
Research on the sea floor, such as magnetic striping and age dating of rocks, provided strong evidence for plate tectonics and continental drift in the second half of the 1900s. These findings helped to change scientific thought, as they demonstrated the movement of lithospheric plates and provided a mechanism for how continents move and interact on Earth's surface. This research revolutionized our understanding of Earth's geology and led to the acceptance of the theory of plate tectonics in the scientific community.
What pushes up through rifts in the ocean floor and cools to form new sea floor?
sea floor spreading, boo. it's molten rockk from earth's coree. hope it helpped!! :)
