Abstract

The relationship between Bouguer anomalies and topography has been studied on ten selected profiles through the Apennines. After classifying the Apennines as an asymmetrical active region, a new interpretation has been made of the pairs of gravity-anomaly belts observed in asymmetrical active continental regions where there is no trench.
