 Kursk Magnetic Anomaly

The Kursk Magnetic Anomaly (KMA) is a significant geological feature located in central Russia, near the city of Kursk. It is characterized by a region of strong magnetic field variations, which are associated with the presence of iron ore deposits in the area. The anomaly is primarily caused by the geological composition of the region, which includes igneous and metamorphic rocks rich in magnetite, a magnetic iron mineral.
