Rapid gravity computations for two-dimensional bodies with application to the Mendocino submarine fracture zone
Abstract
Expressions are derived for the vertical and horizontal components of the gravitational attraction due to a two-dimensional body of arbitrary shape by approximating it to an n-sided polygon. These expressions are put in forms suitable for solution by a high-speed digital computer. As an example of the application of this method, the crustal section across the Mendocino fracture zone is deduced from the gravity anomalies. Assuming the crust to consist of a single homogeneous layer, overlain by water and sediment, it is found to be about three km thicker to the north of the fracture zone than to the south of it.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
