These geopotential coefficients may be used to compute geoid height, gravity anomalies, and changes in the distribution of mass on Earth's surface.
22.
A positive gravity anomaly could have caused isostatic uplift of the ocean under the basin would account for most of the anomaly.
23.
Many observable quantities of the gravity field, such as gravity anomalies and deflections of the plumbline, can be expressed in this disturbing potential.
24.
Due to the high density of the deposits some have marked gravity anomalies ( Neves-Corvo, Portugal ) which is of use in exploration.
25.
When the first satellite passes over a region of slightly stronger gravity, a gravity anomaly, it is pulled slightly ahead of the trailing satellite.
26.
Isostatic compensation and gravity anomalies result from balance between mass excess of the extra mantle beneath the thinned lithosphere and the overlying low-density crust.
27.
Anomalies can help to distinguish sedimentary basins whose fill differs in density from that of the surrounding region-see Gravity Anomalies of Britain and Ireland for example.
28.
Gravity anomalies also accompany major lineaments, notably those associated with the Scottish Caledonides and including Great Glen Fault, Walls Boundary Fault, Highland Boundary Fault and Southern Uplands Fault.
29.
Measurements of gravitational acceleration and gravitational potential at the Earth's surface and above it can be used to look for mineral deposits ( see gravity anomaly and gravimetry ).
30.
The "'North Pennine Batholith "', also known as the "'Weardale Granite "'is a Martin Bott's hypothesis that a large negative gravity anomaly under Weardale represented a low-density igneous intrusion.
