A two-dimensional gravity model of the lithosphere was constructed along a seismic refraction line near 18¿N latitude. Included in the model are crustal layers constrained by seismic refraction results, an estimate of the gravity anomaly caused by the subducting slab, and a model of the low-density mantle beneath the Mariana Trough. With a reasonable anomaly assumed for the slab it is shown that the gravity anomaly caused by the low-density mantle is greatest over the axial bathymetric high and tapers off to the sides. With the bottom of the low-density mantle set at 200 km the density contrast is -0.033 g/cm3. Other depths and densities are tried as well. Several notable anomalies are found on the crustal layers. East of the trench, the crust has been thinned slightly to account for an outer gravity high. Behind the landward wall of the trench, a small, low-density body is modeled to explain a slight offset of the minimum of the free air anomaly from the trench axis. A 50-mGal jump on the observed gravity over the volcanic line is explained by an unusual configuration of the frontal arc Moho.
