Figure 2: Topography, gravity signature, <strong>and</strong> lithospheric structure along the Arabian<br />
Peninsula. a Topography along the profile plotted with a 32x vertical exaggeration (V.E.).<br />
The sediment thickness is shown by the grey shaded areas. b Comparison of the observed<br />
gravity data from the GRACE satellites (black dots) <strong>and</strong> the calculated gravity (grey line)<br />
resulting from the structural model shown in c. The S-wave velocities (Vs) in km/s <strong>and</strong><br />
densities (�) in g/cm3 of each layer are listed (Hansen et al.,2008).<br />
