Magnetotelluric soundings are frequently carried out on a single profile or on profiles remote from each other. Interpretation of the obtained data is difficult in the presence of spatially heterogeneous geoelectric structures. We evaluate its capabilities on the basis of the synthetic data, that correspond to a geoelectric model, which consists of a three-layered section in the background and three rectangular prisms, differently arranged relative to the profile. Using the simple methods of analysis of magnetotelluric data, we succeeded in allocating all three heterogeneities over the area that surrounds the profile of observations. As a result of the fast smoothed-structure 1D and 2D inversion of different components of data, taking into account their specific features, the depths of the occurrence of anomalies and the order of the values of their electrical resistivity were evaluated, and the background section was also reconstructed. On this basis, and, also, with the use of a priori geological-geophysical information, the construction of a 3D model in a more or less broad band around the profile and its correction with the aid of 3D data inversion are possible.
