As it cools, it records the direction of the Earth's field. When the Earth's field reverses, new basalt records the reversed direction.

The geomagnetic field is generated (and regenerated) as the conducting fluid of the Earth's mantle and core, driven by convection of heat from deeper in the interior, induces an electromotive force (EMF) with the existing magnetic field. This process is very ...
