Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Like the gravity and magnetic methods, resistivity surveys can also be employed to detect lateral variations in resistivity. Unlike soundings, profiles employ fixed electrode spacings, and the center of the electrode spread is moved for each reading. These experiments thus provide estimates of the spatial variation in resistivity at some fixed electrode spacing. Surveys that are designed to locate lateral variations in resistivity are referred to as resistivity profiles. An example of a problem for which one might employ resistivity profiles is the location of a vertical fault. 1, record 4, English, - resistivity%20profile
