P(論文) The basic magnetic properties, as hysteresis, AF demagnetization, thermal demagnetization and thermo-magnetic curve, of samples from five kinds of formations in the basement complex of Wright Valley (77.53°S in latitude and 161.63°E in longitude), southern Victoria Land, Antarctica have been measured. The results suggest that every sample has a stable component of natural remanent magnetization (NRM) : the directions of NRM distributed on a meridian gathered gradually to low in latitude by thermal demagnetization up to 500℃ : NRM distributed in high in latitude dispersed by thermal demagnetization less than 500℃ : these characteristics are related to the Curie points of the samples.
