Gravity Measurement
Gravity measurement is the process of determining the strength of the gravitational force at a specific location. This is typically done using instruments like gravimeters, which can detect tiny changes in gravity caused by variations in mass distribution beneath the Earth's surface. These measurements are essential for applications in geology, geophysics, and even in understanding the Earth's structure.
Scientists use gravity measurement to study phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and underground water reservoirs. By analyzing gravity data, researchers can gain insights into the Earth's composition and dynamics, helping to predict natural events and manage resources more effectively.
