Guides géophysiques. Les plutons enfouis à faible profondeur, qui peuvent avoir joué un rôle sur la formation des skarns à W, sont facilement détectables par levé aéromagnétique étant donné leur configuration caractéristique qui se traduit par une crête magnétique annulaire entourant un creux magnétique central. 1, record 2, French, - cr%C3%AAte%20magn%C3%A9tique%20annulaire

Les anomalies magnétiques sont autant les endroits où le champ magnétique est beaucoup plus intense [...] que ceux où il est beaucoup moins intense. Si les roches contiennent beaucoup de minéraux magnétiques [...], une crête magnétique est détectée; un creux magnétique, quant à lui, est associé à des roches qui contiennent très peu de minéraux magnétiques. 2, record 2, French, - cr%C3%AAte%20magn%C3%A9tique%20annulaire
