The Kursk Magnetic Anomaly is a significant geological feature located in western Russia, near the city of Kursk. It is characterized by a strong magnetic field that deviates from the surrounding areas, primarily due to the presence of iron-rich rocks beneath the Earth's surface. This anomaly is one of the largest of its kind in the world and has been studied for its implications in geology and mineral exploration. Discovered in the 1940s, the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly has attracted attention from scientists and researchers interested in understanding the Earth's crust and its magnetic properties. The area is also known for its rich deposits of iron ore, making it an important site for mining and industrial activities.
