  2. Geomagnetic reversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_reversal

    In the early 20th century, geologists such as Bernard Brunhes first noticed that some volcanic rocks were magnetized opposite to the direction of the local Earth's field. . The first systematic evidence for and time-scale estimate of the magnetic reversals were made by Motonori Matuyama in the late 1920s; he observed that rocks with reversed fields were all of early Pleistocene age or old

  3. Paleomagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleomagnetism

    Magnetostratigraphy uses the polarity reversal history of Earth's magnetic field recorded in rocks to determine the age of those rocks. Reversals have occurred at irregular intervals throughout Earth's history. The age and pattern of these reversals is known from the study of sea floor spreading zones and the dating of volcanic rocks.

  4. Vine–Matthews–Morley hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vine–Matthews–Morley...

    [5] [6] Some colleagues were skeptical of the hypothesis because of the numerous assumptions made—seafloor spreading, geomagnetic reversals, and remanent magnetism—all hypotheses that were still not widely accepted. [7] The Vine–Matthews–Morley hypothesis describes the magnetic reversals of oceanic crust.

  5. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    The polarity of the Earth's magnetic field is recorded in igneous rocks, and reversals of the field are thus detectable as "stripes" centered on mid-ocean ridges where the sea floor is spreading, while the stability of the geomagnetic poles between reversals has allowed paleomagnetism to track the past motion of continents.

    A derm explains why hair can start turning gray early, specifically in your 20s. ... Another very important fact to be aware of? "Don't believe the hype in terms of reversal," says Dr. Gohara ...

  7. Magnetic anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_anomaly

    Mapping of variation over an area is valuable in detecting structures obscured by overlying material. The magnetic variation (geomagnetic reversals) in successive bands of ocean floor parallel with mid-ocean ridges was important evidence for seafloor spreading, a concept central to the theory of plate tectonics.
