Magnetic Signature for the Pole-of-Opening of the Canada Basin
Long-wavelength, relative high amplitude-magnetic anomalies obtained at satellite altitudes have provided an understanding of the nature of the deeper crust of the Earth. We have studied one such long-wavelength (19 nT positive, -6 nT negative) feature on the Canada Basin continental margin in the N...

| description |
Long-wavelength, relative high amplitude-magnetic anomalies obtained at satellite altitudes have provided an understanding of the nature of the deeper crust of the Earth. We have studied one such long-wavelength (19 nT positive, -6 nT negative) feature on the Canada Basin continental margin in the Northwest and Yukon Territories, Canada. This area is also the focus of significant stress and earthquake activity. We interpret this anomaly and associated tectonic activity with this region's position at or near the fulcrum of the scissors-like opening of the Canada Basin in the mid-Mesozoic Era. |
