OP "Asgard"

for what it's worth...

A



-------------------------------

The first global map of magnetic peculiarities - or anomalies - on Earth has been assembled by an international team of researchers.

Magnetic anomalies are caused by differences in the magnetisation of the rocks in the Earth's crust.

Many years of negotiation were required to obtain confidential data from governments and institutes.

Scientists hope to use the map to learn more about the geological composition of our planet.

The World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map (WDMAM) is available through the Commission for the Geological Map of the World.

The magnetic signature of the Earth's crust has been measured for many decades by a multitude of groups; but now, for the first time, the data has been combined to give a truly worldwide view of the phenomenon.

A British company involved in the project is GETECH, a spin-off from Leeds University.

Valuable tool

Managing Director Dr J Derek Fairhead explains: "The project is the result of a lot of coordinating efforts by the IAGA (International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy) organisation to put together a magnetic map of the world, and it's taken decades to get to this position.

Wow!
That map is amazing! Some very intriguing data visible there, like the 'shadow' area to the south-east and south-west off South Africa. The Indian Ocean patterns are incredible, and how about those trefold areas in the southern Pacific!
One concept that immediately came to mind was: 'Laylines' in reference to the numerous narrow bands that seem to criss-cross the entire planet, superimposed on the underlying strata.
Again: Wow!

That's a great detailed map. The implications are striking -- overlapping subsurface magnetic remnants in intersecting patterns all over the world.

Comparing the Earth anomalies to those on Mars is interesting:

Over the continents I see lines of magnetic anomaly, but
the 'overlapping' and 'intersecting' I can't see. Open my
eyes, please.

Can anyone post the 2 maps here? I mean the Earth map and the Mars map.

Mo,

This is a portion of the map with the straight line intersections in the Atlantic. The overlaps are indicated, as well:

Wow. That is nice. You can see the "footprints" of the Planetary hits that cross the ocean going right on top of the "stretch marks" of the planets expansion/platetechtonicmovement.

That one just above cuba looks like to goes right onto/from the coast of florida and is just drawn right across the ground/water. A beautiful piece.

The noted parallel lines of magnetic anomaly are either formed
by the magma solidifying whilst the Earth is expanding or whilst the
Atlantic sea floor is spreading, or else upper atmospheric electric
currents induced the linear anomalies. The perpendicular anomalies
in the sea floor were caused by upper atmospheric electric currents,
or else the sea floor split and spread exposing underlying rock.

I think the continental linear magnetic anomalies are probably
difficult to explain by geological means. We'll have to get a
geologist onto this. In Australia, they will be returning from the
field pretty shortly !

OP "Holger Isenberg"

My guess about those "ley lines" on the Earth magnetic map: Routes the ships or aircrafts took during measurement of the magnetic data. The same type of lines can be seen on the bathymetric NOAAS ETOPO maps which have been created by sonar data:
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/image/2minrelief.html

Any better explanation available?

If you are refering to the lines that travel right across the Atlantic and occassionally cris cross, they are there. Even on Google Maps. They are not 'camera' artifacts.

My theory, based that up close they are series of craters (crater Chains) they are planetary plasma hits over water. They fit perfectly. Straight, Cratered, passing over land with no regard for terrain.

Google maps is most likely using the bathymetric data from NOAA. So seeing the same lines there is no proof for their real existence.

Take a look at the image on http://models.geomag.us/wdmam.html where where those lines appear in areas with low data coverage. The solid pale colored filled areas are areas without any data which are divided by some flight paths of the research aircraft. I now read that the magnetic data has been recorded during flights at 5km altitude.

BTW, the magnetic data itself is really interesting. Those continents which suffered the major destruction during the last global catastrophe show strong magnetic signatures (blue/read). On those areas with yellow/green colors the destruction was only minor, and there civilization recovered first.

Let me debate you only on a single point. The data (photos) I saw on a previous post showed some of these lines near cuba area. One was travelling out from the carribean on a shallow angel out into the Atlantic.

I zoomed in on this area and saw that the line was not a line, but a series of dots. I zoomed in a bit more and saw that this particular line bifuricated, split in two for over 100 kms and then joined back up again. The two rows ran right beside each other, just like the Valle Marinaris on Mars. I cite this as proof against camera artifact.

No disrespect intended ;P

(and looking at your pic posted, I think we are thinking of different lines perhaps ;P)

- Regarding the Earth magnetic anomalies map above at this site: http://www.geomag.us/models/WDMAM/NW_atlantic.jpg - I think the straight lines that were meant are those way over on the right, where there's a lot of white, due to lack of data. There are colored ribbons criss-crossing in the white area. I feel pretty confident that those ribbons are the paths the planes took that recorded the data, as someone else stated already.
- Cuba is shown on the far left. The far right must be in the mid-Atlantic.
- Neil, I guess I see what you mean by what looks kind of like Mars' canyon going northward from Cuba along the U.S. east coast. That may be comparing apples and oranges though, I mean comparing a magnetism map of the Atlantic seafloor to a terrain map of Mars' canyon. If you compare a Google satellite terrain map of the Atlantic floor, there's not much that looks like the magnetism map, except maybe for the seamounts off of Massachusetts that cross the area.
- You could post a satellite map of the area here for comparison, if you like. Notice on the Mars crustal magnetism map above that the Mars canyon either has no magnetism, or no data.

To prevent any misinterpretation: on the following pictures some of the lines are marked with parallel white streaks.
