Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The data points on the apparent polar wandering curves for Eurasia and North America represent the apparent positions for the north magnetic pole at various times in the past, as determined from paleomagnetic measurements on different rock sequences in Eurasia and North America. These measurements show how the position of the magnetic pole appeared to change over time due to the movement of the continents.
