Abstract
A significant correlation exists between direction patterns in magnetic and tectonic trends on the northern two thirds of Texada Island, British Columbia, Canada. The patterns were analyzed in further detail by dividing the area into regions based on amplitudes of magnetic anomalies and on patterns in the magnetic trends. A technique involving smoothing and crosscorrelation was applied in the examination of the relationships between the patterns. The regions established on a magnetic basis also are distinct on the basis of tectonic pattern. However, correlation between the magnetic and tectonic patterns varies from region to region within the area. The directions N 50° W, N-S, and E-W, common throughout the coastal area of British Columbia, are the most widespread in the patterns studied on Texada Island. A distinctive zone, identified as a fault zone cutting across the island with a trend of N 20°W stands out in the patterns.
