Investigation of a Gravity High — Offshore Newfoundland
Abstract
Pronounced gravity highs occur on continental shelves throughout the world. The classical explanations are usually based on the edge effect of a thick continental crust abutting a thin oceanic crust, or some variation of that theme. In the particular instance of a gravity high of offshore Newfoundland, traditional explanations are considered and an alternative solution is proposed whereby the gravity anomaly is assigned to the weight of sediments resting on a rigid plate originally in isostatic equilibrium.
