The latest Earth gravity map is the most accurate model of gravity ... scientists discover "If Earth were sphere and its density constant, then gravity would be the same everywhere," Reiner ...

It appears that the lithosphere, which is the rocks on the outside of the world, has a pretty significant role to play in why the tectonic plates are moving the way they are.” This is the insight from ...

Gravity maps allow scientists ... plumes of hot, low-density rocks from the mantle coming to the surface around 20 million years ago. Using computer models, they simulated Earth’s plate tectonic ...

scientists can use gravity gradiometers to map Earth's gravitational field and relate it to underground features such as mineral deposits and aquifers. These gravity maps play a critical role in ...

The area of Earth with the lowest relative gravity is located just south of India in the Indian Ocean. This gravity “hole” may be due to low-density plumes of magma disturbed by the sinking ...

Our planet is not homogeneous in its density and its properties, with some areas being more dense than others — that affects Earth’s surface and its gravity, Ghosh added. “If you pour water ...

Two new studies used gravity data to pull back the curtain on the deep interiors of the Moon and one of the solar system’s largest asteroids.

The effect is so predictable that researchers use ocean surface topography to map the ocean floor ... other," reads the NOAA website. "On Earth, gravity pulls all objects 'downward' toward ...

NASA scientists have discovered an electric field encompassing Earth’s atmosphere that is as “fundamental” as gravity — and ... in maintaining atmospheric density at varying altitudes.

A year of recovery in Earth ... and density. Astronauts in space for less than six months were able to regain their preflight bone strength after a year back in Earth’s gravity.
