What is “magnetic reversal?”
... During the early 1960s, seismologists studying earthquake seismic waves detected the layer configuration of the Earth’s crust, mantle, outer and inner core. They found that the crust and the upper most portion of the mantle actually acted together as a single brittle layer. They called this the lith ...
