Answer:

Explanation:

Paleomagnetism is the study of the __record of earth's__ magnetism in rocks. When magma cools, the magnetic iron-bearing minerals align themselves with the Earth's magnetic field and record__the direction__ and ___intensity__.

Paleomagnetism is branch of geophysics which studies the record of earth's history of magnetism over its history.

Iron bearing minerals such as haematite that accompanies magma formation can be magnetized as they cool to form igneous rocks. This magnetization would record the current direction of the magnetic field and its intensity. When the magma finally cools and solidifies, the record is arrested and preserved in the rock.

Why did the oil price start cheap and after establishing OPEC it became higher
Lady_Fox [76]
Oil still plays an important role in the global economy despite the continued efforts to reduce its use and to find alternative green energy sources. In the early days, finding oil during a drill was considered somewhat of a nuisance as the intended treasures were normally water or salt. It wasn't until 1847 that the first commercial oil well was drilled in the Absheron Peninsula, Azerbaijan.1 The U.S. petroleum industry was born 12 years later, in 1859, with intentional drilling near Titusville, Pennsylvania. (Drilling in the United States began in the early 1800s, but they were drilling for brine so any oil discovery was accidental.)2
