Summary

Description

A theoretical model of the formation of magnetic striping. New oceanic crust forming continuously at the crest of the mid-ocean ridge cools and becomes increasingly older as it moves away from the ridge crest with seafloor spreading:

  • a. the spreading ridge about 5 million years ago.
  • b. about 2 to 3 million years ago.
  • c. present-day.
/!\ caution: the colours used on this picture may suggest that great amounts of magma are coming from beneath the lithosphere. That is not the case: only a small amount of magma is produced (red dots below the ridge crest). The orange part is Asthenosphere.
