On: “The half‐slope and straight‐slope methods of basement depth determination” by D. Atchuta Rao and H. V. Ram Babu (GEOPHYSICS, 49, 1365–1368, August, 1984).
Abstract:There appear to be some mistakes in the subject paper. The authors seem not to have realized that the anti‐symmetric contact anomaly represents one of the flanks of a symmetrical dike anomaly of infinite width, and that the symmetric contact anomaly belongs to the family of anti‐symmetric dike anomalies. This explains the peculiar looking curve for contacts (R = ∞ curve) in their Figure 2 where the contact curve is seen to intersect the dike curves. To be correct the R = ∞ curve has to be turned around a verti… Show more
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.
