Theory of viscous remanent magnetization acquisition and its application to flood dating
Most rocks contain magnetic minerals that acquire a natural remanent magnetization (NRM) in the direction of the geomagnetic field during their formation. Floods may quarry, transport and rotate boulders such that their NRM will subsequently be randomly aligned. The magnetic minerals then gradually...
