Gravity and topography near Hawaii
= Gravity and topography near Hawaii
The narrow volcanic ridge loads the <lithosphere> and generates a regional flexural response, while the broad swell involves deeper support. The observed positive ridge anomaly, negative flanks, outer positive belt, and long-wavelength positive swell anomaly probe distinct spatial scales.<Gravity and bathymetry in the central Pacific Ocean by A.
