    Reversal of Earths magnetic field

    Explanation:

    Earth's magnetic field reverses direction approximately every 2 million years. Every time Earths magnetic Field reverses, the magnetic direction of new sea floor along mid-ocean ridges also reverses. These alternating layers of magnetized seafloor can be used to map out boundaries of diverting plates.
