Question 1.
What is paleomagnetism?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how rocks preserve history.
Question 2.
What do magnetic stripes on the ocean floor indicate?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens at mid-ocean ridges.
3Question 3.
What does paleomagnetism study?
- The Earth's atmosphere

Show hintHide hint
Consider how formation processes align with magnetic records.
Question 6.
Discuss the relationship between paleomagnetism and climate change as it pertains to continental drift.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the geographical diversity and how it influences weather.
