Fig. 10.11 A model of conducting magma upwelling along the volcano vent. ( a ) The magma
velocity vector V is positive parallel to z axis while the effective magnetic moment d eff is
perpendicular to both V and the Earth's magnetic field B 0 .( b ) A configuration of total current j
flowing across the vent. The circles with point and cross inside indicate the directions of magnetic
field perturbation ı B
where d eff is the effective magnetic moment per unit length and a is the radius of the
cylinder. Let y axis be positive parallel to the vector d eff . Thus, the vectors V and
B 0 must be in x z plane as shown in Fig. 10.11 a. We use a polar coordinate system in
which r is the distance from the z -axis and .0 </ is the polar angle between
the x-axis and the vector r . Taking into account the symmetry of the problem and
the fact that the moment ( 10.50 ) is normal to the cylinder axis, one can find that the
GMPs have only z -projection
