WHAT DOES GRAVITY ANOMALY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

gravity anomaly

Gravity anomaly

A gravity anomaly is the difference between the observed acceleration of a planet's gravity and a value predicted from a model. A location with a positive anomaly exhibits more gravity than predicted, while a negative anomaly exhibits a lower value than predicted. The anomaly is the body or effect that causes the deviation from the "ideal" gravity model. Many data corrections must be made to the measured gravity value in order to extract the response of the local anomaly, or local geology, which is typically the goal of applied geophysics.

Definition of gravity anomaly in the English dictionary

The definition of gravity anomaly in the dictionary is a deviation from the normal value of gravity at the earth's surface, caused by density differences at depth, for example those caused by a buried mineral body.
