Abstract

This paper discusses the possibility of using readily available isallo stress lines referring to the compressional angle γ, as an exploration tool. It is shown that inhomogeneities in the Earth will produce anomalies in the isallo stress lines. Conversely, stress anomalies can be interpreted in terms of inhomogeneities in the Earth. The stress anomalies produced by a simple inhomogeneity are discussed which serves to illustrate the idea.
