In tectonically active regions electrical conductivity anisotropies are the dominating features. The importance of conductivity anisotropy in the interpretation of magnetotelluric data is well known. In the present study numerical results presented which show the effect of a substratum with inclined anisotropy on the magnetotelluric response. The pronounced change on the magnetotelluric response is found for the models in which the substratum underlies (i) conductive and (ii) resistive overburden.
