Geomagnetic intersection of tectonic structures seen in space photographs
Abstract
Interpretation of space photographs yields information on positive tectonic structures in platform territories. Analysis of previous works indicates that positive tectonic structures of widely varied configurations are found by different authors in the same territory. An attempt is made here to analyze the reasons for this variety and to characterize the major types of intersections of tectonic structures. Recommendations are given for increasing the effectiveness of utilization of space photographs in geological structure studies.
