True or false? when researchers compared the magnetic data from the ocean floor with the pattern of magnetic reversals on land, scientists were able to determine the age of the ocean floor. a) true b) false

TRUE

Explanation:

The scientists examine the change in the magnetic field of the earth to determine the age of the ocean floor. Once in a while, the currents in the core of the ocean which create the magnetic field on the earth, are reversed. This is known as a geomagnetic reversal.

When the magnetic data of the sea floor was studied, they discovered about the normal and the reversed magnetic stripes.

The geomagnetic reversals records was matched with the stripes of the normal and the reverse magnetic fields, to determine the age of the ocean floor.

Therefore, the give statement is TRUE.

just took the test the answer is b.
