Paleomagnetism

For an introductory college-level earth sciences class: a review of paleomagnetism (record in the rock of the direction and intensity of Earth's magnetic field in the past) and how it's used as evidence to better understand the processes underlying plate tectonics.
**This video comes at the start of the semester. For a full playlist, refer to the Oceanography or Geology playlists on the Earth Rocks! RUclips Channel.
Content within this video is based on information available in any standard introductory college oceanography or geology textbook, such as Essentials of Oceanography -- Trujillo and Thurman -- OR Essentials of Geology -- Tarbuck and Lutgens -- Pearson Publishing.
Part of a 7-part Plate Tectonics video series:
Part 1: Earth Layers & Isostasy
Part 2: Plate Tectonics Basics
Part 3: Plate Tectonics Global Impacts
Part 4: Plate Tectonics and California Geology
Part 5: Hotspots
Part 6: Paleomagnetism
Part 7: Hydrothermal Vents

Isn't it true that the south pole doesn't actually produce a magnetic field? How can one prove this?

[@EarthRocks]

Magnetic fields are produced between two magnetic poles. The magnetic north pole and magnetic south pole produce field lines are opposite sides of the magnetic field lines. It is true that the magnetic poles are not in the same location as the rotational north and south poles. Perhaps that was the confusion?

[@jaykaiser1754]

@@EarthRocks magnetic poles and true poles are not the confusion. The questions I have are is it true that the south pole is not able to produce a magnetic field and what test can you do to prove or disprove the case?

'my' is more like milliyear than million years to me. It should be 'Myr'.
