Delineation of structural lineaments from marine magnetic anomalies off Jonnalakonda, East Coast of India

Abstract

Bathymetric and total magnetic intensity data off Jonnalakonda, south of Visakhapatnam, India have been collected. Magnetic anomaly contour map revealed that (1) the well developed magnetic anomaly occurring seaward side of Jonnalakonda is due to charnockitic bodies occurring at shallow depth around 0.37 to 0.4 km and (2) the high frequency and amplitude anomalies near to the coast are trending north west-south east direction. The well developed magnetic anomaly is interpreted following automated Werner deconvolution method and is verified with 2 dimensional model studies
