The results of geomagnetic soundings in the West Carpathians are presented. The number of observation sites in this region was approximately 90. The data treatment included the calculation of single-station transfer functions and the separation of the fields into external and internal parts on some profiles. The interpretation was based on the construction of twodimensional models explaining the observed features. The observed distribution of geomagnetic induction vectors is very regular and the axis of the anomaly runs in the contact region between the outer and inner Carpathians.The thickness of the well-conducting rock complex exceeds 10 km. The wellconducting rocks seem to be the sediments which accumulated in the contact region of the platform. The asymmetry in the distribution of induction vector amplitudes on some profiles can be accounted for by asymmetrical geometry, which is characteristic of the underthrusting of rocks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
