🌊 Mid-Ocean Ridge Seafloor Spreading: Magnetic Stripes and the Age-Depth Law

A cutaway mid-ocean ridge grows symmetric magnetic stripes as plates spread. A survey ship tows a magnetometer across the axis, then an estimator recovers the spreading rate from the noisy profile, while seafloor depth follows the square-root-of-age cooling law and the lithosphere thickens.
