Magnetic Anomalies and Mid-Ocean Ridges

Tyler Szwarc, Haiyan Fu

Magnetic Fields Induced in Igneous Rock

Dating the Seafloor• Radiometric isotopes in zircon, apatite, and

feldspars record crystallization age of seafloor basalts

• Ages range from 0 Ma at the spreading ridge to 185 Ma at the edge
