In magnetotelluric soundings information about the trcnd comes from<br />

the fact that<br />

However, after Z has been rotated into Z' for the thus found angle a,<br />

no distinction is possible which one of the off-diagonal elements of<br />

Z' refers to E- and H-polarisation. If in addition the direction of<br />

the geomagnetic induction arrow is known, such a distinction becomes<br />

possible. Furthermore (z,, [ > [ zLl ,if the structure is better conduc-<br />

ting than its environment and vice versa. Hence, it can be decided<br />

whether the induction arrow points toward a well conducting zone or<br />

away from a poorly conducting zone. .<br />

The dj.sti.nction between the impedances of E- and H-polarisation is<br />

proper choice of the impedance element for a ?-dimensional interpre-<br />

from place to place than Z1.<br />
