A new geomagnetic polarity time scale for the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic
Steven C. Cande,Dennis V. Kent +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relative widths of the magnetic polarity intervals for the entire Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic have been systematically determined from magnetic profiles from the world's ocean basins.
Seismology and the new global tectonics
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive study of the observations of seismology provides widely based strong support for the new global tectonics which is founded on the hypotheses of continental drift, sea-floor spreading, transform faults and underthrusting of the lithosphere at island arcs.

Sea-floor spreading and continental drift
TL;DR: In this article, a geometrical model of the surface of the earth is obtained in terms of rigid blocks in relative motion with respect to each other, and a simplified but complete and consistent picture of the global pattern of surface motion is given on the basis of data on sea-floor spreading.

Speculations on the Consequences and Causes of Plate Motions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used plate theory to calculate the temperature distribution in the lithosphere thrust beneath island arcs, and to determine the flow and the stress elsewhere in the mantle, and demonstrated that earthquakes are restricted to those regions of the mantle which are colder than a definite temperature.

Philip Kearey,Michael Brooks,Ian Hill +2 more
- 01 Jan 1984
TL;DR: The principles and limitations of geophysical exploration methods are discussed in this paper, where the authors present a survey of the basic geophysical data processing techniques for geophysical fieldwork, including seismic reflection, magnetic survey, and geophysical Borehole Logging.

Magnetic properties of the basalt in hole EM 7, Mohole project
Allan Cox,Richard R. Doell +1 more
TL;DR: The average direction of the remanent magnetization of the basalt layer at the bottom of hole EM 7 is inclined 36° above the horizontal, indicating that the layer is reversely magnetized.

Total magnetic field surveys between New Zealand and the Ross Sea
R. D. Adams,D. A. Christoffel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the total magnetic field contours are given for the region between New Zealand and 70°S and for the Ross Sea area, showing the absence of any disturbing igneous rock close to the surface.

Magnetic correlation in volcanic districts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated Tertiary and Quaternary plateau basalts in Iceland and found that both normal and reverse natural permanent magnetization is present in alternating zones of about 25 flows each.

Magnetic Anomalies over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
TL;DR: The magnetic field over the Atlantic Ocean has been measured on a number of flights organized by the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys of Canada and also under Project Magnet (U.S. Hydrographic Office) as discussed by the authors.

Magnetic anomaly over Mohole drill hole EM7
TL;DR: In this paper, the most favorable drill site within a previously chosen area was selected on the basis of ocean floor topography as measured by a fathometer and the magnetic anomaly pattern given by a towed total-field magnetometer.
