Unit Three - Geophysical
Methods
Anticlinal: A fold sloping downward on both sides from a common crest Homogenous: The same or similar material throughout. Uniform in structure or composition. Amplitude: Half the orthogonal distance between the antiformal and synformal enveloping surfaces. Station: Location on a survey line or a survey grid where a measurement is made. Earth Tide Correction: Cyclic variation in gravity measurements during the course of the day caused by changes in the relative positions of the earth, moon, and sun. Drift: The gradual change in gravimeter readings with time caused by various factors, including temperature and tidal effects. A correction is made by re-occupying a base station at the end of the day to measure the change which has occurred since the beginning of the day.
