Local variation of the Earth's magnetic field in central Africa
The Bangui magnetic anomaly is a local variation in the Earth's magnetic field centered at Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic. The magnetic anomaly is roughly elliptical, about 700 km × 1,000 km (430 mi × 620 mi), and covers most of the country, making it one of the "largest and most intense crustal magnetic anomalies on the African continent".[1] The anomaly was discovered in the late 1950s, explored in the 1970s, and named in 1982. Its origin remains unclear.
