Magnetic patterns: ocean floor pattern plotting Provided by Classroom activity Description:

In this activity, students plot field magnetic field data on a map of the ocean floor around Iceland to observe how the direction of magnetisation of the ocean floor varies. This links the magnetization of rocks with the theory of plate tectonics. Activity details available at:
