A Gravity Map of Earth

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Gravity is not uniform across Earth's surface. This relief map exaggerates the highs and lows where Earth's gravitational field is relatively strong and weak. For example, a low spot is visible off the coast of India, while a high occurs in the South Pacific Ocean. The exact causes of these irregularities are still being studied, as they don't always align with surface features.
