Conductivity Anomalies in Central Europe

摘要: This paper is a review of studies which, by applying the magnetotelluric, geomagnetic deep sounding, and magnetovariational sounding methods (the latter refers to usage horizontal magnetic tensor), investigate Central Europe for zones enhanced electrical conductivity. The study areas comprise region Trans-European Suture Zone (i.e. south Baltic Poland), North German Basin, Czech Variscides, Pannonian Basin (Hungary), Polish, Slovakian, Ukrainian, Romanian Carpathians. part world well investigated in terms data coverage density published studies, whereas certainty that results lead comprehensive interpretations varies within reviewed literature. A comparison spatially coincident or adjacent reveals important role distinct conductivity anomaly plays consistency results. encountered anomalies are understood as linked basin sediments, asthenospheric upwelling, large differences lithospheric age, and—this concerns most them, which all concentrate middle crust—tectonic boundaries developed during mountain building phases have taken place on continent.
