An Adequate Procedure to Determine Depths of Geometric Bodies from Gravity Profile

One of the most important parameter in interpretation of gravity data is the determination of depth to the center and/ or to top of the body causing the anomaly. The commonest rule of thumb concerns the use of half-width of the anomaly which has been mentioned in most geophysical books [1] [2],[3]. Several methods have been developed to interpret gravity data using geometrical models and other transformation procedures [4];[5]. Reference [6] discussed the resolution of maximum gravity and gravity gradients to depth of geometric sources. The present paper exhibited other techniques that can be used to estimate the depths of certain geometrical bodies.
