The phrase "resistive body" is correct and can be used in written English.
You could use it to explain something that is designed to counter or resist a certain force. For example: "The car's frame is a resistive body that protects the occupants from collisions."
Region X3, which has low resistivities with values less than 10 Ωm, was replaced with a resistive body.
Enhanced volcanic activity may cause volcanic fluids to pass through the resistive body surrounded by the altered zone and thus promote brittle failure within the resistive body.
At a minimum, we can consider that resistive body R2 corresponds to weakly altered materials.
These features suggest a shallow conductive body and a resistive body deeper beneath the sites.
For this reason, evaluating the reliability of the resistive body was necessary.
This bell-shaped conductor surrounds a relatively resistive body (10 100 Ωm).
The resistive bodies in the lower crust are interpreted to be granitic intrusive complexes.
The two-dimensional MT model obtained (after static shift correction) represents resistive bodies (1, 000 3, 000 ohm-m) and conductive bodies (<20 ohm-m) in the deep crust.
The approximate equal values of the two conductances are reasonable to a certain extent because conductance is not sensitive to the resistive bodies.
The middle-lower crust is distinctly different, with resistive bodies 'R1' (below stations 4 8) and 'R2' (below station 13) and conductive bodies 'C1' (below stations 9, 10) and 'C2' (below station 18).
The MT method is generally less sensitive to resistive bodies because of the properties of electromagnetic waves, which can be easily absorbed by a conductor (e.g., Cagniard [1953]; Vozoff [1991]; Simpson and Bahr [2005]).
