 Barington MS2 dengan sensor dual
frequency digunakan untuk mengukur
nilai suseptibilitas magnetik sampel
tanah dan batuan.
Dari pengukuran kerentanan magnetik
sampel (pada 2 frekuensi berbeda)
dihitung rasio frekuensi dependen (XFD)
dengan menggunakan rumus:

% = 100%
Langkah pengujian suseptibilitas magnetik:
1. Preparasi, memasukkan sampel tanah ke dalam suatu wadah Keterangan:
(holder) Frekuensi rendah (XLF)
2. Mengukur masa holder kosong dan massa holder yang telah
0.47 kHz
diisi sampel
3. Menjalankan aplikasi penghitung nilai susceptibility pada Frekuensi tinggi (XHF) 4.7
komputer kHz
4. Mengukur nilai first air (nilai susceptibility udara sebelum
sampel dimasukkan ke alat)
5. Mengukur nilai susceptibility sampel tanah
6. Mengukur nilai last air (nilai susceptibility udara setelah
sampel dikeluarkan dari alat)
7. Mengukur nilai susceptibility sampel yang telah dikoreksi
8. Mengulang langkah 4 7 sebanyak 5 tiap sampel
9. Mencatat hasil pengukuran

changes through time
change in magnetic north relative
to true north

1580-1970

consequence of rotation of outer core

1831-2001
migration of magnetic north 19
Earths magnetic field
reverses over time (north and south poles flip)
--magnetic field lines reverse--
normal polarity: north is north and
south is south
reversed polarity: north is south and
south is north
after next reversal, compass needle will point south

Earths magnetic field
surrounds the Earth
has north and south magnetic poles
is detected by compasses
is recorded in rocks and minerals as they cool
is generated in the Earths liquid outer core as
it spins and produces electrical currents
Earths field similar
to that for
bar magnet (left)

magnetic N and S
is not the same
as geographic
N and S poles
(bar magnet tilted)

how do rocks and minerals acquire magnetism?
rocks and minerals at high temperatures (e.g. molten)
must cool through their Curie temperatures
above Curie temperature, atoms are random
below Curie temperature, atoms align in domains
that are independent of each other
below Curie temperature, atoms align with
magnetic field if one is present (e.g. Earth)

33
Earths magnetic field
how do rocks and minerals acquire magnetism?
rocks and minerals that cool through Curie temperature
and stay below that temperature through time
record magnetic field AT THE TIME OF THEIR COOLING
