The boundaries are divergent plate boundaries, where plates move apart in opposite directions, and convergent plate boundaries, where plates are pushed together by internal forces and one plate rides up over the other. A trench generally o ...

Magnetic Reversals
... After molten lava emerges from a volcano, it solidifies to a rock. In most cases, it is a black rock known as basalt, which is faintly magnetic. Its magnetism is aligned with magnetic north and is frozen in place at the time when the basalt cools. Instruments can measure the magnetization of basalt. ...
