He then obtained a gravity map of the Yucatán made in the 1960s.
The gravity map of the Yucatan shows a horseshoe-shaped crater, its southeastern side deep and its northwestern side increasingly shallow.
The result should be the most accurate gravity map of the moon ever made.
Detailed gravity map of the far side of the Moon.
Left A fifth-order residual gravity map has been enhanced by the removal of the regional field to accentuate short wavelength anomalies.
Towards the end of 1990 the first proofs of four 1:250 000 gravity maps were checked.
The final gravity map and model of the geoid will provide users worldwide with well-defined data product that will lead to:
Variations in distance caused by gravity difference on earth produce data points for the gravity map.
Salt domes are typically expressed in gravity maps as lows, because salt has a low density compared to the rocks the dome intrudes.
So geologists, and other Earth scientists can make a "gravity" map of the Earth.
