Google Earth Community


This is a Google Earth image overlay map of magnetic anomaly information derived from more than 50 years of aeromagnetic surveys over land areas, research vessel magnetometer traverses at sea, and observations from earth-orbiting satellites, supplemented by anomaly values derived from oceanic crustal ages. The objective is to provide an interpretive dimension to surface observations of the Earth's composition and geologic structure. This is a good means of demonstrating how data from minerals contributes to our knowledge of plate tectonics.
