Planetary faults of the Baltic Shield according to gravity data
Abstract
Deep faults are identified by us with lines or zones of disturbance of horizontal layering of rocks of the Earth's crust and upper mantle. Such disturbances in gravity survey are approximated by structures like vertical or steeply sloping ledge, and the location of the lateral edge of the ledge or fault zone is characterized by maximum horizontal gradients of gravity.
