What is Plate Tectonics
... As new ocean crust is formed along the axis of a mid-ocean ridge, magnetite crystals that crystallize from basaltic magma (extruded as lava) are aligned in the direction of the magnetic field. As the cools, the magnetite crystals are “frozen into place,” thus preserving their orientation during the ...

History of geology
The history of geology is concerned with the development of the natural science of geology. Geology is the scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth. Throughout the ages geology provides essential theories and data that shape how society conceptualizes the Earth.
