Structure of the geomagnetic field in correlation with neotectonic regionalization of the Republic of Macedonia

Abstract

The paper presents research of the structure of the geomagnetic field in correlation with the neotectonic regionalization. The territory of the Republic of Macedonia, according to the neotectonic processes, is divided in three zones: Western - Macedonian zone which include Alpine orogeny and Pelagonian massif, Vardar zone and Eastern - Macedonian zone which is part of the old Paleozioc rock mass on the Balkan Peninsula. Anomalous geomagnetic field on the territory of the Republic of Macedonia is presented with regional and local components. Selection of the repeat stations density and the method for data processing is adapted to separate the regional from the local component of the anomalous geomagnetic field. The paper presents maps of the elements of the regional anomalous geomagnetic field and the map of the Z - component for the local field
