Abstract:
The writer discusses torsion-balance results obtained in the Los Angeles basin. It is shown that here the distribution of gravity which is observed in the vicinity of an oil field is in no way connected with the inherent density of the beds. One phase of the mathematical theory of geophysics dealing with the gravity distribution set up by the folding of an otherwise uniformly dense bed is discussed, and it is shown that, in the region in question, the distribution of gravity is entirely the result of this folding. An approximate method of interpreting gravitational distribution in terms of subsurface structure is described.
