How do Earth's magnetic pole reversals provide evidence for plate tectonics?

Geography
1 answer:
MaRussiya [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The magnetic pole reversals of the earth are found in the divergent type of plate boundary, where two plates move away from one another. The basaltic rocks are formed when magma erupts at the seafloor. These magmas are comprised of minerals that contain magnetic properties, which leads to the episodic reversal of magnetic polarity, every time it erupts. These normal and reverse polarity occur in the form of stripes that are parallel to the axis of the mid-oceanic ridge.

Thus, the magnetic pole reversal of the earth provides evidence for the plate tectonic activities.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (D).

Wittaler [7]

The answers that apply are;

  • striped pattern
  • provide evidence to seafloor spreading

Ocean ridges can be found at divergent boundaries where two plates are moving away from each other. As the magma rises to fill the void, it cools into rock and forms new crust. The iron minerals in the rocks align with the earth’s magnetic field before the rock cools. This causes the rocks in these areas of seafloor spreading to have band-like patterns.  The irons align differently each number of years in relation to the flipping of the earth’s magnetic field. This phenomenon has been used to determine the ages of these rock layers.
