Advantages of airborne gravity gradiometry:

1) consistent regional coverage

2) It is used when the data is large and it is fast

3) It can be used in varied topography

4) This provides multiple information about a constraint to solve it.

Applications of airborne gravity gradiometry:

Ground gravity survey provide detailed characterization and a higher resolution of a survey area and is comparatively cheap and non destructive. Airborne gravity gradiometry can be used in geothermal exploration, field procedures on an aircraft, environmental mitigation measures on an aircraft.

which features are often formed by orogenic events? 1. foreland basins 2. mountain ranged 3. nappes 4. sediments

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

2. Mountain Ranged

Explanation:

Orogeny is the primary mechanism by which mountains are formed on continents. An orogeny is an event that takes place at a convergent plate margin when plate motion compresses the margin. This leads to both structural deformation and compositional differentiation of the Earth's lithosphere.
