GEOPHYSICS (MAGNETIC SKEMANG) Flashcards
a passive method which measures variation in the existing magnetic field strength oldest and most widely used geophysical tool in mineral exploration
Magnetic
deposits that are applicable to be sujected to Magnetic
Iron Ore Sulfides
Ni-Cu-PGEs
This provides regional coverage of large areas at a comparatively low cost specialy in delineating target areas during reconnaissance
Airborne Potential field sirveys
used as a magnetic sensor fixe to a string in the tail of an aircraft
Bird
Used to tow a sensor behind a ship to remove te magnetic effects of the vessel
Fish
Where is marine potenrial survey used?
Ocean Floor Polymetallic Nodules
The curved orientations of lines in a magnetic field
Lines of Force
Flux of density due to magnetic pole of strength m at dustance R and expressed as the force exerted on a unit positive pole at point P
Magnetic Field B
Units of Magnetics intensity?
Gamma (y) = 10^-9 T or= 1nT
Magnetic intensity at the poles
60,000 y or 60,000 nT
Magnetic intensity at the equator
30,000 y or 30,000 nT
How many degrees is the declination of the geomagnetic poles tp geopgraphical poles?
11.5 deg
The Angle between the Magnetic and Geograhic North
Declination
The Angle made by the point with respect to the horizontal
Inclination
What causes Magnetic Anomaly?
Superimposed presence of magnetic minerals and rocks on the normal geomagnetic field
Rocks’ magnetic suscpetibiloty is depedent on?
Proportion of rock forming ienrals with are either nonmagnetic or very feebly magnetic
Highly Magnetic Minerals
Magnetite, Ilmenite, Pyrrhotite
Hmeatite with a crystal form of Magnetite
Maghemite
Which type of igenous rocks are usually more magnetic due to higher magntite content
Mafic-Ultramafic
Magnetic propoerty of metamorphic rocks
Varying
