Every 50,000 years or so, the magnetic poles of the Earth reverse. As basalt is erupted from sea floor spreading centers, the iron in the basalt aligns itself to the magnetic pole orientation. Paleomagnetism is simply studying the magnetic orientation of iron in old rocks. So, if you have a section of sea floor and you find three zones that record magnetic pole reversals, you know that by the rate of those reversals you are looking at roughly 150,000 years of time.

  • The presence of the mudstones in the geologic depression area on mars leads to its name as Yellowknife i.e the capital of the northwest territory of Canada.
  • The findings of the mudstone from the stepped bedded stata indicate the clay minerals that show the presence of water and claims that an ancient creator was found on in this region and these indicators of a potential mafic source of origin of deposition.
