Multiple Choice

The following questions refer to the description and figure below.
The figure represents a cross section of the sea floor through a mid-ocean rift valley, with alternating patches of black and white indicating sea floor with reversed magnetic polarities. At the arrow labelled "I" (the rift valley) , the igneous rock of the sea floor is so young that it can be accurately dated using carbon-14 dating. At the arrow labeled "III," however, the igneous rock is about 1 million years old, and potassium-40 dating is typically used to date such rocks. Note: The horizontal arrows indicate the direction of sea-floor spreading, away from the rift valley.

-How many other bands of sea-floor crust in the figure have the same magnetic polarity as the crust that directly straddles the rift valley?

• A)two bands
• B)four bands
• C)six bands
• D)eight bands
• E)ten bands
