  Integrated Geophysics Corporation - Gravity/Magnetic Glossary
The gravity anomalies observed in the Bouguer field are caused by lateral density contrasts within the sedimentary section, crust and sub-crust of the earth.
The relationship is important in gravity modeling because a gravity anomaly may be caused by a gradational change in density rather than a relatively abrupt density contrast, such as that which may occur at a fault, contact, or unconformity.
For 2-dimensional modeling, the density and susceptibility models of the geology and the observed gravity and magnetic anomalies for the model are assumed to be semi-infinite.

 Editorial
The law of gravity states that the gravitational attraction between the earth, with mass m1, and an object with mass m2 on the surface of the earth, equals the gravitational constant times m1 times m2, divided by the square of the radius of the earth.
Gravity is stronger at the poles than at the equator, and of course the gravitational attraction is reduced at higher elevations.
The owners of the gravity company would be able to charge everybody on earth for the use of gravity, superceding the rights of possession and rent held by the holder of the title to territory.

At the crests, passengers experience zero gravity, while, at the troughs, their weight nearly doubles.

The plane is owned by the Zero Gravity Corporation and operates out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
To create zero gravity, the plane makes a series of 10 to 15 parabolas — upside-down U's — over the period of about a half hour.
The force of the turn of the upward arc will pull you to the top of the plane, much as you get pushed to the side of a car when it makes a sharp turn; gravity, however, counters and negates the force pulling you up, and the result is weightlessness.
