What else can I help you with?
Is it true that the magnetism of the rocks along the ocean floor is consistent in that there is no reversal of polarity?
The rocks of the ocean floor are not consistent and do show past reversal of polarity. The statement in the question is false.
How do strips of magnetized rock on the ocean floor provide evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Strips of ocean-floor basalt record the polarity of earth's magnetic field at the time the rock formed. These strips form a pattern that is the same on both sides of the mid-ocean ridge. the pattern shows that ocean floor forms along mid-ocean ridges and then moves away from the ridge.
What were found on the ocean floor?
blank are found on the ocean floor
Is the ocean floor made out of a pattern of magnetized strips?
Yes, the igneous rocks of the ocean floor exhibit a pattern of oppositely polarized magnetic strips. This demonstrates that the earth's magnetic field has reversed polarity (i.e. swapped north and south poles) several times in the past.
What features are found on the ocean floor?
That it is a topgraphical and the features are a ocean floor.
What kinds of magnetism did scientists finds while studying the ocean floor?
Scientists found evidence of magnetic stripes on the ocean floor, which indicated periodic reversals in Earth's magnetic field. This discovery helped support the theory of plate tectonics and seafloor spreading.
When Studying the ocean floor scientists found rocks showing what?
Scientists found out about normal polarity and reverse polarity. Normal polarity is when the North Pole is south and the South Pole is north and reverse polarity is the opposite. The magnetic bands are different colors for normal and reverse polarity. This can cause sea-floor spreading.
How were scientists able to use rock on the ocean floor to determine that the Earth and magnetic field has changed direction?
Scientists studied the alignment of magnetic minerals in oceanic rocks to determine that the Earth's magnetic field has undergone reversals in polarity. By analyzing the magnetic "stripes" on the ocean floor, they found alternating bands of rocks with normal and reversed polarity, suggesting that Earth's magnetic field has changed direction over time.
How do strip of magnetized rock on the ocean floor provide evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Strips of ocean-floor basalt record the polarity of earth's magnetic field at the time the rock formed. These strips form a pattern that is the same on both sides of the mid-ocean ridge. the pattern shows that ocean floor forms along mid-ocean ridges and then moves away from the ridge.
Identify how magnetic symmetry can be used as evidence of sea-floor spreading?
On each side of the mid-ocean ridge is a mirror of the striped pattern on the other side. When drawn, these patterns show alternating bands of normal and reverse polarity that match the geomagnetic reversal time scale, scientists can assign ages to the sea-floor rocks. The youngest rocks were at the center, and the older rocks father away. The ages of the sea floor rocks are symmetrical. The only place on the ocean-floor where new rocks are formed are at the rift in mid-ocean ridge. hope this helps :)
Are boundaries always found on the ocean floor?
No, boundaries are found everywhere.
Where are crabs found?
on the ocean floor with the smaller fish
