Which of the following statements is/are correct with reference to the Magneto-telluric (MT)?

Answer & Explanation

Option: Magneto-telluric (MT) is a geophysical method which uses natural time variation of the Earth’s magnetic and electric fields to understand geological (underground) structure and processes.

Explanation:

Magneto-telluric (MT) is a geophysical method which uses natural time variation of the Earth’s magnetic and electric fields to understand geological (underground) structure and processes. These measurements are conducted across three major seismic sources, namely Mahendragarh-Dehradun Fault (MDF), Sohna Fault (SF) and Mathura Fault (MF). These measurements will ascertain the presence of fluid, which generally enhances the possibility of triggering of earthquakes.
