Abstract
This 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.
