Two major contributors:<br/> 1.  Distance from the centre of the earth.  The higher you are, the futher you are away, and so gravity is (somewhat) less.<br/> 2.  Density of the rocks below your feet.  The more dense the material below you, the higher gravity would be.  See (for instance) the relative high density along the western coast of the Americas: Subduction of relatively dense oceanic crust underneath relatively less dense continental crust creates thicker and more dense crust in those zones, and therefore higher gravity.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Nicky666 @ 7/2/2007 4:39:58 AM]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/l/25892/1/atom0_3.rss#q2" /><id>72771</id><summary><![CDATA[cool facts, I like the first one already<br/><br/>instead of losing weight, one could just move!]]></summary><issued>2007-07-02T04:39:58+01:00</issued><modified>2007-07-02T04:39:58+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[cool facts, I like the first one already<br/><br/>instead of losing weight, one could just move!]]></content></entry></feed>
