MAGNETIC ANOMALIES SOURCES OF THE TERTIARY AND QUATERNARY VOLCANISM OF THE WESTERN CARPATHIANS ON THE TERRITORY OF THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC

Magnetic map of Slovakia was compiled in the year 2001 in the frame of the project "Atlas of geophysical maps and profiles". All relevant magnetic anomalies were quantitatively interpreted and modelled (Kubes et al., 2001) using an unified methodology. This approach enabled a more objective interpretation of areal distribution of magnetic inhomogeneities on the territory of Slovakia and to compile the map of magnetic anomalies sources of Tertiary and Quaternary volcanism. The maps of magnetic anomalies sources contain data on the interpreted thickness of the volcanic complex. At those sources, which do not crop out to the surface, the depths of their uppermost rims are presented. Geological interpretation of the magnetic anomalies source contains data on the body type, its age, lithostratigraphic division and lithological-petrographical characteristic. In some cases data on hydrothermal alterations of individual rock types are presented.
