No. At least no more than any other rocks. Almost all materials contain some trace of radioactive material.


How a compass can be used to trace the magnetic field of the magnet?

The pull of the magnet will over ride the earths magnetism. So the compass will react to the magnet as it passes through its field.

Why can two rocks look very different even though they have the same minerals?

The two rocks in question may have different percentages of the same minerals, or their method of formation could be different, which can affect the shape and size of the mineral grains. Trace minerals in the two rocks could also alter their appearance, as well as the amount of weathering the rocks have been exposed to.


How can the magnetic orientation of rocks be used to trace a continent that has drifted?

When rocks are formed, usually from lava flows, the magnetic orientation of them is set as they solidify. As these rocks are affected by continental drift and other factors such as earthquakes, the original magnetic orientation remains. Using the known strengths of the earth's magnetic field over time, it is possible to then tell where these rocks originally emerged.
