Spreading Tectonics investigated by Magnetotelluric Anisotropy

Nature volume 231, pages 442–443 (1971)Cite this article

Abstract

MAGNETOTELLURIC anisotropy may provide an effective tool in the search for deep (0–700 km) linear structures (mid-ocean ridge, transform fault, under-thrusting) connected with ocean floor spreading.
