Gravity Map of Earth

dr3vil writes "Interesting results have been published by the GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) project, of the various gravity anomolies that exist at various places on Earth. The BBC report gives a good overview. Fascinating for me, a resident of California, to see us apparently sandwiched between a high and a low spot. Maybe that helps aids the tectonic flows around here?"

This will be most useful!

Now I know where the best places would be to search for Upsidasium mines!

Places that really, really suck

[RobertB-DC]

Looking at the detailed map, it's fair to say that, in the Western Hemisphere, Alaska sucks. Also, Montana seems to suck, and southern Mexico sucks, too. Colombia and Chile, though, really suck.

On the other hand, the Bermuda Triangle totally blows.

Interesting how the map relegates Europe to the fringes... I'm suuuuuuuure it's just because the Prime Meridian happened to cut France in half.

So, I weigh less on the West coast than the East

[kaltkalt]

Seems one weighs more in california than in new york. Am I the only one who has a great idea for a new 'guaranteed' weight-loss plan to sell on ebay? [running to the US patent office....]

I'm trying in vein

That's "trying in vain", unless the submarine which you're dealing with is a shrunken one inside a human and Raquel Welch is in it.
