The Geomagnetic Fields. These topics are particularly important for the analysis of marine magnetic anomalies, a major source of data in plate kinematics. Finally, this chapter introduces the potential field technique, which represents the fundamental mathematical tool for describing the Earth’s magnetic field.

Paleomagnetism and Earth Historyener’s continental drift theory. In this chapter, I present selected topics from paleomagnetism, which are essential for using paleomagnetic data in plate kinematics modelling. First, I introduce Neel’s theory of thermo–remanent magnetization, which represents the form of primary remanent magnetism

Composition of the Crust and the MantleThe external layers of the solid Earth, from the crust to the lower mantle, are the main actors involved in the plate tectonics drama. In this chapter, I describe their chemical composition and introduce the principal geodynamic processes occurring within and between these layers.

Magnetization and Magnetic MineralsThis is the first of four chapters devoted to the techniques for collecting and analysing kinematic data. The fundamental source of data for determining past plate motions is furnished by rock magnetization. In this chapter, I describe the different classes of rock magnetism, the main magnetic minerals, and the origin of ferromagnetism.
