Natural magnetism is acquired by some rocks, especially igneous rocks that are rich in iron, as they solidify. As the rocks cool, iron-bearing minerals are 'frozen' into position. The orientation of iron-bearing magnetic minerals record the location of the Earth's magnetic poles and the latitude of the rock at the time of cooling.
