New Bouguer Gravity Maps of Venezuela: Representation and Analysis of Free-Air and Bouguer Anomalies with Emphasis on Spectral Analyses and Elastic Thickness

Figure 3

Gravity anomaly map of Venezuela. Complete Bouguer anomalies are given on land, and Free-Air anomalies are offshore. The Bouguer reduction density was 2.67 Mg/m3. Contour interval: 20 × 10−5 m/s2. Geographical coordinates. Geological features labeled are BB: Bonaire basin, BAB: Barinas Apure basin, CCTB: Coastal Cordillera thrust belt, EBH: El Baúl high, EVB: Eastern Venezuela basin, FB: Falcon basin, GB: Guárico basin, GS: Guyana shield, GrB: Granada basin, LAVA: Lesser Antilles volcanic arc, MA: Mérida Andes, SCAP: South Caribbean accretionary prism, SdITB: Serranía del Interior thrust belt, SRC: Santa Rosalía complex, and TT: Tobago through.
