Did you get better today? Did you help someone else get better?

Welcome to Sea-Floor Spreading Lab

Goals of Today's Lab:

  • 🎯 Understand magnetic reversals in oceanic crust
  • 📊 Learn key evidence for sea-floor spreading
  • 📈 Practice data analysis and plotting skills

Remember: This lab connects directly to our study of plate tectonics!

Did you get better today? Did you help someone else get better?

The Discovery - A Scientific Detective Story

Historical Context (1950s):

  • Scientists were searching for submarines 🚢
  • Used magnetic detection equipment
  • Made an unexpected discovery!

What They Found:

  • Strange magnetic patterns on the ocean floor
  • Symmetrical "stripes" of magnetism
Did you get better today? Did you help someone else get better?

Magnetic Reversals and Rock Formation

Key Concepts:

  • Earth's magnetic field periodically "flips"
    • North becomes South
    • South becomes North
    • Happens every few hundred thousand years
Did you get better today? Did you help someone else get better?

Magnetic Reversals and Rock Formation

How Rocks Record Magnetism:

  1. Magma rises at mid-ocean ridges
  2. Magnetic minerals align with Earth's field
  3. Rock solidifies, preserving the alignment
  4. Creates a permanent record
Did you get better today? Did you help someone else get better?

Today's Investigation

What You'll Do:

  1. Plot real magnetic data from the ocean floor
  2. Look for patterns on both sides of the ridge
  3. Calculate ages and distances
  4. Draw conclusions based on evidence
Did you get better today? Did you help someone else get better?

Making Your Plot

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Label your axes

    • X-axis: Longitude (30°W to 15°E)
    • Y-axis: Age (0 to 180 million years)

  2. Plot the points

    • Use one color for Normal polarity (N)
    • Use different color for Reversed polarity (S)

  3. Mark the ridge location

Did you get better today? Did you help someone else get better?

Analysis Tips

Look For:

  • Symmetry in the pattern
  • Age relationships
  • Distance relationships

Think About:

  • Why are the patterns symmetrical?
  • What does this tell us about sea-floor spreading?
  • How does this support plate tectonic theory?
Did you get better today? Did you help someone else get better?

Time Management:

  • Plotting data: 15 minutes
  • Analysis questions: 20 minutes
  • Class discussion: 10 minutes
