A Geographical Relation Between Geomagnetic Variation Anomalies and Tectonics
A world review of the available geomagnetic variation data, with a standardized presentation of results from North America and Europe, shows that there is a geographical relation between inland geomagnetic variation anomalies and tectonic features. Particularly evident in North America is a correlat...
