Total-field aeromagnetic data over the western half of the Bornu basin and its surrounding areas were analyzed using angular spectral analysis, upward continuation and lowpass filtering techniques. Results revealed several angular spectral peaks at various angular orientations. The angular orientations correlated with the trends of the deep-seated NNW-SSE, NW-SE, NNE-SSW and NE-SW regional lineaments inferred from the upward continuation and lowpass filtering techniques. Superposition of the inferred regional lineaments on the surface geology suggests that the inferred lineaments exerted structural control on the magmatism, sedimentation pattern and the flow pattern of the Gongola river in the study area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
