11. As magma rises from the mid-ocean ridge, it cools and solidifies. As this magma
solidifies, some of the minerals align with Earth's magnetic field. Every few
million years, Earth's magnetic field reverses. This reversal is recorded in the
magma that solidified after leaving the mid-ocean ridge. In the picture, these
magnetic reversals are indicated by dark and light bands.
