Descrição
Resumo:Scientific discussion and different points of view are a basis of the advancement of knowledge. We acknowledge the comments of Jones et al. [2012] as an opportunity to publicly discuss the structure and origin of the Atlas Mountains. Moreover, we welcome the opportunity to compare our results with those recently published by the group responsible for the comment [Ledo et al., 2011], although it is not pertinent to comment in detail on a paper published in another journal. We also wish to remark that the paper of Ledo et al. [2011] was reviewed and published during the revision period of our contribution [Anahnah et al., 2011]; therefore, they are two different approaches and data sets, measured in different sites and by different instruments for the same region, lending readers the chance to compare different interpretations. The main differences on the data sets are: the profile of Anahnah et al. [2011] compared with the profile of Ledo et al. [2011] is 170 km longer, vertical magnetic data were obtained and lower frequencies were recorded
