Lodestone is a rock that has magnetic properties.
What does the magnetic dip preserved in a rock indicate?
the rock's magnetic latitude at the time that it formed
What is a lobe stone?
a rock that that is magnetic
What is a mineral that magnetic rock contains?
A common mineral present in magnetic rocks is magnetite (Fe3O4). It is a natural magnetic mineral that is attracted to magnets, giving the rock its magnetic properties. Magnetite is abundant in many igneous and metamorphic rocks, and is often found in beach sands and black sands.
True or False the magnetic orientation of a rock is determined when the rock solidifies?
ture

How is the orientation of Earth's magnetism recorded in rocks on the ocean floor?
Earths magnetic orientation is locked into the rock when the rock cools
How does solidified magma come to be magnetic?
As magma solidifies to form rock, iron-rich minerals in the magma align with Earth's magnetic field in the same way that a compass needle does. When the rock hardens, the magnetic orientation of the minerals becomes permanent. This residual magnetism of rock is called paleomagnetism.

What is natural magnetic rock?
Lodestone is a magnetic rock that is largely composed of the mineral magnetite.
Where is the magnetic rock located called magnesium?
mostly where i live; in texas ; because texas is so high in drout it makes the earth's magnetic feild harden :)
Was it possible for the viking leif ericson to use a magnetic compass on his voyages?
