Homework Statement
Name a strength and weakness of each technique.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
The two techniques that I came up with are:
Magnetic Line of Force in rocks to analyze land-based paleomagnetic data.
Strength: Well, it's easy to collect. [need help here]
Weakness: Data collected by this method results in a loss of data as we do not acquire east/west data but only north/west data.
Geomagnetism --> To measure magnetic anomalies of the sea-floor. This was marine based data.
Strength: We get exact results as the information is hard-coded into the seafloor.
Weakness: Don't have a good idea yet. I initially said that the data was difficult to collect, but that isn't the answer we were looking for. [help here?]
