Magnetics can be very valuable in [[interpreting seismic data]] by plotting residual magnetic profiles along seismic sections. This technique is valuable in looking for (1) subtle stratigraphic changes that can occur along basement block boundaries and (2) subtle fault offsets or other structural and stratigraphic features. The locations of the basement weakness zones provide focal points for examining the seismic data more closely. | Magnetics can be very valuable in [[interpreting seismic data]] by plotting residual magnetic profiles along seismic sections.
