the giant's causeway is a bundle of rocks in Ireland formed by erupting volcanoes The Giant's causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt pillars. It is located off the North East coast of Ireland. The Giant's Causeway was named the 4th wonder in the United Kingdom. The formation was the result of a volcanic eruption. Each Pillar is of a hexagonal shape, and the form steps all up and down along the land mass. It really is a puzzling sight.

What happens to the ocean crust as is spreads from the mid-ocean ridge?
As the volcanic material moves away from the Mid Ocean Ridge, it cools (which makes it denser); it forms the large 'Giants Causeway" type of polygon rock forms; once it has passed through the Curie point, it preserves a record of the magnetic field as is was when the rock cools.
