  Description:
    Abstract: This image shows the colour-coded map of the Bouguer gravity anomalies. The gravity data used to compile this map have a spacing of 10 km, on average. All measurements were reduced to the IGSN71 datum and theoretical gravity values were calculated from the Geodetic Reference System 1967 (GRS67) gravity formula. Bouguer anomalies were calculated using a vertical gravity gradient of 0.3086 mGalom-1 and a crustal density of 2 670 kgom-3. Areas on land are represented by Bouguer anomalies and areas offshore, by free-air anomalies. For this map, the data were gridded to a 2 km interval. The image grid has a 127-metre interval.
    Purpose: Bouguer gravity anomalies predominantly reflect density variations within the Earth's crust. Density is largely determined by lithology and so gravity anomalies can be related to rock type and geological structure. Mapping the texture or patterns of anomalies, their truncation and extent provides valuable structural information. Additionally, the shape of areas with similar gravity field texture/patterns can also indicate lithology.
