Comments on "Gravity field of the southern Colima graben" by W. L. Bandy, C. A. Mortera-Gutierrez and J. Urrutia
Main Article Content
Abstract
In a recent paper, Bandy et al. (1993) report the results of modeling marine gravity data for the continental margin of the Jalisco Block. In Figure 5 of its paper, one would expect line A-A' to be normal to the longest dimension of the anomaly, as they use a two-dimensional model, where density does not change along strike. However, line A-A' actually runs parallel to strike, against the common usage in two-dimensional models. Gravity; field; southern; Colima; graben, México.
