Description
A diagram re-drawn from Earth's Dynamic Systems, comparing gravity intensity (in Mgal) vs. the distance (in km) from data gathered at a mid-ocean ridge. The graph indicates a significant difference between the gravity measured at the ridge crest and the gravity intensity as the distance from the ridge increases. Compare this data set to the Heat Supply at a Mid-Ocean Ridge data set.
