What Does VRM Stand For?
VRM stands for Viscous Remanent Magnetization
Viscous Remanent Magnetization (VRM) refers to a type of magnetization that occurs in geological materials, particularly in rocks and sediments, as a result of an exposure to a magnetic field over time. This phenomenon typically involves the gradual alignment of magnetic minerals in response to thermal and environmental conditions, allowing them to retain a portion of the Earth's magnetic field. VRM is an important factor in paleomagnetism, aiding in the study of geological history and the movement of tectonic plates.
