Sediment fill in the Middle America Trench inferred from gravity anomalies

A sequence of free-air gravity anomaly profiles across the Middle America Trench are used to model the sediment fill of unconsolidated pelagic and hemipelagic sediment facies, and partially altered bedrock material. The shift of the free-air forearc low from the bathymetric minimum in the trench is...
