What Does NRM Stand For?
NRM stands for Natural Remanent Magnetization
Natural Remanent Magnetization (NRM) refers to the magnetic signal preserved in geological materials, such as rocks and sediments, resulting from the Earth's magnetic field at the time of their formation. NRM is crucial for understanding paleomagnetism, which enables scientists to study historical changes in the Earth's magnetic field and plate tectonics, as well as to date geological formations and investigate past environments. The measurement and analysis of NRM provide insights into the Earth's geological history and contribute to various fields, including geology, archaeology, and environmental science.
