no, only iron, cobalt, nickel and their alloys are magnetic.


Are magnetic rocks known as lodestones?

Although Lodestone is a naturally occurring magnetic rock, not all magnetic rocks are known as lodestone, and it is only magnetized because of the magnetite mineral in it.

Magnetometer data across a mid-ocean ridge shows alternating bands of?

As rocks cool past the curie point, they tend to become magnetized in the direction that the earths field is point at that time. The earths magnetic field has reversed many times in the past. The mid ocean ridge is a place where the plates are spreading apart and new hot material is welling up. This makes stripes of rocks that are magnetized in alternating directions.


How are domains arranged in materials that are not magnetized and in ones that are not?

Domains in magnetized materials are all aligned in one direction - those in un-magnetized objects are arranged randomly.


How are The magnetic domains in non-magnetized materials different from the magnetic domains in magnetized materials?

In non magnetized material the domains are not ordered -they do not align with one another.

What rocks are magnetic?

Many rocks have magnetic properties (are capable of being magnetized, are magnetic or are attracted by a magnet) derived from magnetic minerals in their composition like magnetite, hematite, and ilmenite. The most well known magnetic rock is the lodestone, which is comprised mainly of magnetite.
