Magnetotelluric data
Magnetotellurics (MT) is an electromagnetic
method of geophysical exploration used to deduce
the electrical resistivity structure of the Earth at
depths ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of
kilometers. This method uses a source signal of
external origin, natural variations of electric and
magnetic fields of the Earth, generated by physical
processes such as solar variations and magnetic
storms. The spectra of these variations cover
periods ranging from 10–3 to 105 [s] and are
generated by the interaction between the solar
wind, the magnetosphere and the ionosphere of
planet Earth (Vozoff 1991).
The MT method is based on the simultaneous
measurement of the total electromagnetic field, i.e.,
the time variation of the magnetic field B(t) and the
induced electric field E(t). The electrical properties
of the underlying material can be determined from
the relationship between the components of the
measured variations of electric (E) and magnetic
(B) fields, or transfer functions: the horizontal
electric (Ex and Ey) and the horizontal magnetic (Bx

For long periods (> 101 s), the arrows were expected
to have a regional behavior in W–E direction due to
the coast effect, however, it can be observed in the
vectors delimited by the yellow dotted line that have
a SW–NE direction. This behavior of the vectors is
studied by Brasse et al. (2009) in the Chilean
continental margin, between latitudes 38° and 41°
S, and they attribute it to the resultant between the
effect of the ocean and the presence of a layer with
structural electrical anisotropy in the crust.
Anisotropy was also identified in some phase curves
that escaped their natural quadrant (see Additional
files). However, phases out of quadrant can also be
explained by strong galvanic distortion, 2D
structures with high resistivity contrasts, and 3D
conductive bodies generating strong current
channeling or a superposition of different effects
(Martí 2014).
An electrically anisotropic medium can be, for
example, a space influenced by micro-scale
hydrated faults that can become a macro-scale
structure if these structures have a preferential
general orientation. From the above, it can be
inferred that one way to mitigate the effect of
