Magnetic Profiles over the Reykjanes Ridge
Data from an aeromagnetic survey over the Reykjanes Ridge. The data was used to create a map of seven magnetic profiles. Profile numbers, used for identification, are at the west end of the cross sections. This map illustrates the strengths and reversals of the Earth's magnetic field. Profil ...

CALS7K.2 Model Declination and Google Earth - rainbow scale - B.C.
This kmz file contains one component, declination, of the global geomagnetic field model, CALS7K.2 (Korte & Constable, 2005). The file contains the model at 50 year intervals covering 5000 years from 5000 B.C. to 0 (due to the large file size for the full 7000 years), along with a colour scal ...

Global Archeomagnetic Field Model for the Past 7k Years: CALS7K.1
We present a continuous global geomagnetic field models for the recent millennia: CALS7K.1 covering 7000 years from 5000~BC to 1950~AD. This model, however, has meanwhile become superseded by CALS7K.2. If you are not specifically interested in the older version CALS7K.1 please use CALS7K.2 ...

Magnetic Profile I
This graph is 1 of 2 in a series, it shows the varying strength of the magnetic field derived from geomagnetic data from the seafloor. For additional information on magnetic profiles see Magnetic Profile II.

Gravity Measurements Over an Oceanic Ridge
A diagram re-drawn from Earth's Dynamic Systems, comparing gravity intensity (in Mgal) vs. the distance (in km) from data gathered at a mid-ocean ridge. The graph indicates a significant difference between the gravit ...

Extremes in the 4th dimension and the EarthRef.org Digital Archive
This powerpoint presentation is aimed to layout the one of the key observations that support the theory of plate tectonics. It shows evidence for the oldest ocean floor (~168 Ma) in the Pacific ocean at ODP Site 801C and the oldest seamount (~140 Ma) in the West Pacific Seamount Province. Bot ...

Heat Flow Levels Over a Mid-Ocean Ridge Data Worksheet
This image of heat flow at a Mid-Ocean Ridge is re-drawn from a graph in Earth's Dynamic Systems. Mid-ocean ridges are shallow because the crust at a mid-ocean ridge is hot and less dense than cooler, older oceani ...

Cross Section of the Earth With Magnetic Field Line Directions
The image shows a cross section of the Earth's interior along with exterior magnetic field lines. At the center is the solid inner core, formed primarily of Iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni), which is very hot (between 5000-7000¿C), but is a solid due to intense pressure. Outside of the inner core i ...

Distance from Kilauea and Age of Hawaiian Island Volcanoes
This graph depicts a trend present in the Hawaiian Islands and Emperor Seamounts in which age of the island and seamounts increase as the distance from Kilauea increases. The line of best fit shows that this relationship is nearly linear indicating that the velocity at which the Pacific Plat ...

Radiometric Age of Volcanoes Along Hawaiian Ridge
This diagram shows the age relation of volcanoes along the Hawaiian Ridge with respect to distance from Kilauea. Notice the trend of increasing age the further from Kilauea the volcano is located. This image can also be viewed without the radiometric age information in order to visualize ...

Known Duration of Various Stages of Volcanism for Principle Hawaiian Islands
This image shows the duration of tholeiitic shield, alkalic post shield and alkalic rejuvenated stage activity for various Hawaiian Islands. Angled lines indicated uncertain ages or overlapping volcanism. For a description of volcanic terms review

Magnetic Anomoly Profiles for Different Spreading Rates
The image shows 4 magnetic profiles across the East Pacific Rise, each with a different spreading rate. As the spreading rate increases from 25 to 50, 100, and 125 km/Myr (2.5, 5.0, 10.0 and 12.5 cm/yr respectively), the profiles become smoother. Smoother profiles are easier to compare th ...
