Abstract
The role of magnetostriction in the problem of rock magnetism has heretofore been neglected. Based on some experimental observations and on reconsiderations of well-known factors affecting rocks, the conclusion is reached that magnetostriction may figure prominently in establishing the directions of magnetization observed in many cases. Therefore, the practice of interpreting meager magnetic data in terms of polar wandering and continental drift can be in error.
