While it makes sense now that I read and can picture it, I would have assumed that areas of stronger gravitational pull would be depressed rather than raised. Interesting.

I minored in chemistry. I don't know crap about this.

Chemistry is harder, that's what I know.

That is so neat! I've seen tons of gravity maps and Bouguer anomaly maps, but it's amazing that a topography map here can do the same thing.

Ooo...and I thought Kansas was a great place to calibrate GPS SATs.



actually, it really is flatter than a pancake:

but still not flat enough, I see.
