The paper presents the most important cases of geological structures with variable density, pointing out the importance of knowing such variations for a correct geological interpretation of the gravity anomalies. The content of this paper is a result of many trials performed in Romania which have indicated three available procedures for the interpretation of gravity anomalies produced by structures with variable density, showing at the same time their possibilities and limitations in practical applications.
