23 to 1 2 we will get twice the current density at the centre point. This means that the ascending branch of our sounding graph will continue under an angle of 45° in the bi-log. diagram. If ρ2 has a finite value greater than ρ1 then the sounding graph has to run ρ 2 asymptotically into the horizontal line .Thus the question asked by aid ρ1 of Fig.11 in chapter 1.4. is answered. Since the zooming process is a steady one the sounding graph combining ρ1 and ρ2 asymptotically must be a smooth curve. Any breaks or steps are impossible. On one side this is a great advantage in field work: If the curve on a horizontally layered earth is not a smooth one, it is either disturbed by lateral effects, inho- mogeneities in the underground or mistakes in the record. On the other hand difficulties arise in the interpretation because interfaces of
24 Fig17 layers with different resistivities cannot be seen just looking at the curve (as f.i. possible in refraction seismics from the travel time record). Master
