For example, the presence or absence of melt or fluids plays a major role in plate tectonic processes. Most our knowledge in this area comes from geophysical surveys. However, the relationship between measurable geophysical parameters and the actual conditions in the Earth&#8217;s interior is often ambiguous. To improve this state of affairs, LMU geophysicist Max Moorkamp has developed a new method, whereby data on the distribution of electrical conductivity and density in the Earth&#8217;s crust is combined and processed using a method derived from medical imaging. &#8220;The advantage is that the relationships between the two parameters are part of the analysis,&#8221; says Moorkamp. &#8220;For geophysical applications, this is completely new.&#8221;&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-05-earth-interior-electrical-density-crust.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Investigating Earth&#8217;s interior using the distribution of electrical conductivity and density in the crust<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knowledge about the structure and composition of the Earth&#8217;s crust is important for understanding the dynamics of the Earth.
