Rocks have a north and south pole. The sea floor was discovered to have different magnetic poles on cracks in the ocean floor.
Because of sea-floor spreading caused by the mid-ridge
Seismic Waves, Rock formations, and the shapes of the continents over time

Earthquakes along the seafloor, tsunamis, and changed water movements.
Because of the stripes at the sea floor which are magnetic minerals
three are : eruptions of molten material magnetic stripes in the rock of the ocean floor and the ages of the rocks themselves :)
