− | The potential differences around a sand/shale contact deflect the SP from the shale baseline. The deflection is negative for a normal salinity contrast (borehole fresher than formation). Little change occurs within a sand interval, so a clean sand shows a straight-line “sand line” ([[:file:quick-look-lithology-from-logs_fig1.png|Figure 1c]]).
