Investigation OF the subject OF the
distribution OF terrestrial magnetism
has led TO the conclusion that the seat
of the abnormal magnetlzation Is
within the layer Of the earth's crust.
which Is subject to temperature varia-
lions, and that the layer Is thin In
deed. To arrive at clearer concep-
tlon OF the causes OF unsymmetrlcal
distribution OF the earth's magnetism.
the earth Is supposed to be. In the first
instance, uniformly magnetized
sphere. and then It is proposed to de-
duct the theoretical magnetixation
from the actual magnetization at cor
responding points on the earth's sur
face. The chart obtained reveals the
existence OF three residual magnetic
north poles and three south poles. The
strongest OF the north poles Is situated
to the east of Patagonia, the others
being in China and the United States.
The strongest residual south pole Is In
the French Congo. and the others are
in the Bering Sea and near Tasmania
The most important result obtained 1,
the determination that this distribu.
ton Of the magnetic Irregularities ha,
some connection with the abnormal
distribution Of temperature.
