Hi,
could ayone help me with this question? If so, please answer in cm/year.
Based on the Brunhes / Matuyama-reversed magnetic area being located 11.7 km from the ridge axis in the Central Atlantic, how quickly does the seabed move away from the ridge axis?
Data; Absoluteage of the Brunhes / Matuyama-reversed magnetic area: 0.78 M.yr.(million years) Absolute age of the Matuyama / Gauss magnetic reversed area: 2.58 M.yr.(million years)
