Gravitational geophysical surveys are carried out to understand density properties of subsurface rocks. Scientists can interpret variations in very precise measurements of Earth's gravity from place to place across the surface of the Earth in terms of corresponding changes in rock density within the subsurface. Geophysicists work with geologists to relate these density changes to known rock types in the area and thus provide constraint on models of the subsurface (for example, geologic cross-sections). A gravity observation is a point where a gravity measurement was made on the Earth's surface. This dataset was obtained through the GeoNet Gravity Dataset Repository that was developed by the Pan American Center for Earth & Environmental Studies (PACES). The data incorporated into this database was originally derived from a variety of sources including the National Geospatial Agency (NGA), National Geodetic Survey (NGS), Defense Mapping Agency (DMA), and the USGS.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "This feature class shows the location and basic values for individual gravity measurements (\"observation\") in Washington.
