  B) Mantle hot spots are always oriented to the magnetic field.
  C) The ocean floor is uniformly old, preserving the Earth's 4.6 billion history including past reversals in polarity.
  D) The oldest oceanic crust is always found near mid-ocean ridges. As one moves out from these ridges, the crust is simultaneously younger and oriented according to the polarity at the time.
