TRACKING SEAFLOOR LAVA FLOWS—By superimposing magnetic measurements on detailed seafloor topography maps like this one, scientists can distinguish how, when, and where individual lava flows occurred on mid-ocean ridges. Younger lava has the highest magnetic intensities (red and yellows). Above, the most recent lava flow erupted from the ridge axis, overlaid older lava flows, and pooled to the left of the axis.
