Abstract: | Summary. The surface gravity anomalies for a three-dimensional density model of a dipping lithospheric plate under the Aegean island arc and the Aegean Sea in Greece in the eastern Mediterranean Sea have been calculated. Such a dipping plate has been suggested in geophysical investigations. The calculated gravity maximum over the dipping plate is located in the area of the largest observed Bouguer anomalies inside the island arc. It is suggested that this should be taken into account in studies of crustal structure and gravity in the area. |
