Gravity Map of Earth

Posted by michael on from the light-reading dept.

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?"

    The high-gravity spot is merely a result of your average Califonian's dense skull.
