What Does PDRM Stand For?
PDRM stands for Post Depositional Remanent Magnetization
Post Depositional Remanent Magnetization (PDRM) refers to the magnetization acquired by sediments or rocks after their deposition. This process occurs when mineral particles align with the Earth's magnetic field during or shortly after sedimentation, resulting in a remanent magnetization that reflects the magnetic conditions at the time of their formation. PDRM is a critical concept in paleomagnetism and geology, as it assists in understanding the historical changes in the Earth's magnetic field and tectonic movements.
