I was just having a think, and wanted to know if there was a place on earth, where the gravitational field strength: g = 9.81 m/s2 = 32.2 ft/s2 (standard)

is stronger than elsewhere. I thought that the equator, or the magnetic poles may be candidates for this trail of thought.

Would love your input,

doc

at the equator g is less(further from the center of mass) and at the poles it is more(closer to the center of mass)

 

being near large mountain ranges can also affect the reading.

 

its not a large difference but it is there.

Makes sense really! Thanks alot, Interesting stuff

Heavy mineral deposits are found through the use of gravity strength measuring equipment. so just standing in the right place (where the sub-terranian stata is denser) will have a higher gravitational "pull" than another less dense area at the same elevation and latitude.
