Abstract

A magneto‐gravity response function, which shows a phase relationship between magnetic and gravity anomalies caused by a common source body with a constant density‐to‐magnetization ratio, is derived for determining the magnetization direction of a source body for 2‐D and 3‐D cases. The validity of the method is demonstrated through application to test data and to field anomalies from the Daito Ridge. The Daito Ridge is found to be magnetized in the present main field direction, contrary to shallow inclinations suggested by studies of Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) sediment cores. The strong normal magnetization is ascribed to high magnetic susceptibility and/or viscous remanent magnetization.
