magnetic anomalies
Magnetic anomalies refer to deviations in the Earth's magnetic field strength or direction that vary from what is considered normal in a specific area. These anomalies can be caused by variations in the composition and magnetism of rocks beneath the Earth's surface and are commonly measured to understand geological structures, locate resources, or gain insights into the Earth's history.
