Ally, Liaquat A.2023-06-072023-06-071974https://unbscholar.lib.unb.ca/handle/1882/34948The results of a geophysical survey within a portion of the "quiet magnetic zone" of the Northwest Atlantic indicate that the area is magnetically lineated; magnetic highs alternate with magnetic lows, but the anomalies are of small amplitude. A low intensity of total magnetisation is necessary to explain these small amplitudes. The conclusion reached in this thesis is that the "quiet magnetic zone" was formed at low paleomagnetic latitudes and that the remanent magnetisation component has a much reduced influence on the magnetic values measured in the present day direction of the geomagnetic field .30electronicen-CAhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_16ecsenior reportBurke, K.Earth Sciences
