Why is the anomaly pattern in the Atlantic so symmetric, whereas in the Pacific region (particularly the northern Pacific), it is highly asymmetric?

ASSIGNMENT One of the key discoveries that led to the widespread acceptance of sea-floor spreading (and ultimately plate tectonics) was the pattern of “magnetic anomalies” in the oceanic crust. Shown below is a map of Earth, taken from a publication by Muller et al. (1997) – cited below — in which the pattern of magnetic […]
