Bouguer gravity anomaly map of Nevada; Map 94A

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:137900

  1. Geological Survey, Denver, CO (USA)

This map depicts the complete Bouguer gravity of Nevada with 5 mGal (1 mGal = 10{sup {minus}5} m/s{sup 2}) contour lines. A Bouguer gravity reduction density of 2.67 g/cm{sup 3} was used. The variations in the acceleration of gravity shown on this map are an indirect measure of lateral variations in the density of the Earth. In many cases these lateral density variations are geologically significant boundaries such as faults, folds, unconformities, or facies changes. 25 refs.
