Magnetic Prospecting

Magnetic prospecting is a geophysical method used to explore the Earth's subsurface by measuring variations in its magnetic field. Different rocks and minerals have distinct magnetic properties, which can reveal information about geological formations, hidden structures, or mineral deposits. By using sensitive instruments, geophysicists can detect these magnetic anomalies from the surface, allowing them to map out the underlying geology without excavation. This technique is valuable in fields like mineral exploration, archaeology, and environmental studies, providing insights that help guide further investigation or resource extraction.
