Hi,
Would this be a correct explanation for tectonic plates and magnetic clues in rocks?
Tectonic plates are 12 giant slabs of rock, the rock is composed of the earth's upper mantle and the earth's crust. The tectonic plates can move and this can cause continents to separate. The earth's crust that forms Britain was initially found south of the equator, however due to the movement of tectonic plates, Britain is now to the north of the equator. Magnetite in rocks serves as evidence for this movement of earth's continents. When magma rises from below the solid mantle and solidifies, it magnetizes in the direction of the earth's magnetic field at the time. If the magnetism of a rock lies horizontally it means that it solidified closer to the equator and if it is perpendicular (at an angle) to the horizon then this means that it is closer to the south/north pole.
