Etymology: From paleomagnetic + -ally.

  1. In a way that has to do with paleomagnetism

    The paleomagnetically determined paleolatitude of the Rosemary paleosol during the middle Devonian was about 40° ± 14° (18 ).

    It is based on the following observations: (i) different regions in the oceans subside like BL until different flattening ages, some as old as 170 Ma (49 ); (ii) depth and heat flow in some old basins behave like BL but with an effective thermal age t e, which is younger than the (paleomagnetically determined) actual age t m (50 ); (iii) effective elastic lithosphere thicknesses under some intraplate volcanoes suggest that hot spots produce a "thermal rejuvenation," reducing t e (51 ); (iv) the depths and subsidence of hot spot swells suggest that many swells reduce t e to the same value (52 ); and (v) on old lithosphere, it is hard to find areas that have not been near hot spots (53 ).
