There are significant differences in the direction of magnetization among solidified lava flows from differnet volcanoes that erupted at different times over the past several million years. Therefore, it must be that the direction of the Earth's magnetic field has changed over time. Since lava flows differing by thousands of years in age often have very similar direction of the magnetization, the change in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field must take place very gradually over hundreds of thousands of years.The argument that the direction of the Earth's magnetic field has changed over time reuqires the assumption that A. Only lava can be used to measure the direction of the Earth's magnetic field as it existed in the distant past B. a single volcano can produce lava differing consistencies during different eruptions C. not all solidified lava has changed the direction of its magnetization unpredictably D. there are fewer volcanic eruptions now than there were millions of years ago E. as lava flows down the side of a volcano, it picks up magnetized rocks作者: 玛莎丁丁 时间: 2012-6-30 22:55
C吧？ 熔岩受地球自身磁场的影响，在固化后产生了相应的且不同磁场方向，由此认为地球磁场在漫长历史中发生了改变。问前提。那么至少不是所有熔岩的磁场方向都不可思议地改变了，否则大前提就值得质疑了。
