Environmental magnetism is a fundamentally and principally pure physics (specifically geomagnetism) based one of the most extensively useful proxy for the application of various earth’s system science phenomenon. In which, we identify the different types of magnetic materials, calculate intensity, analyze and conclude the existence of our significant findings in correlation to any other results derived from various data analysis of earth system science.
Magnetic minerals can be produced, modified, transported and deposited by a range of environmental and anthropogenic processes (Thompson et al., 1980; Thompson and Oldfield, 1986; chapter 12). In some situations these magnetic minerals provide very stable assemblages which may be traced from …show more content…

The origin of the magnetic properties of a substance lie fundamentally within the atoms of which it is composed and the magnetic effects which can be observed easily without instrumentation are only one type of magnetic behavior. In fact, all substances, including rock forming minerals have magnetic properties. We cannot view the magnetic behavior of an electron or atom in isolation; it is common experience that when two permanent magnets are brought close together, attraction and repulsion phenomena are observed, so electron dipoles affect each other both within an individual atom, and between adjacent atoms. The magnetic dipole moment of an atom is the resultant of all the orbital and spin magnetic moments of its electrons. Within any electron shell with an even number of electrons, these magnetic dipole effects cancel and the net magnetic moment is zero (Walden et al. …show more content…

We can say ferromagnetic materials are the alternative name for strong paramagnetic elements and is characterized by strong spontaneous magnetization. Hence, ferromagnetic materials are used to understand the history of EMF (Basavaiah, 2011). Ferromagnetism is stronger than diamagnetism and paramagnetism properties. It is particularly associated with the elements iron, nickel, and cobalt but also occurs in many natural minerals such as very important iron oxides, as example Fe2Ti2O5, Fe2TiO4, Fe2TiO5
