Abstract The relation between vertical crustal movement and the gravity change was considered and simulated. The gravity change was calculated with the digital elevation data and the velocity of vertical motion in the western China, was compared with the gravity change of the satellite observations. Results indicate that the characteristics of gravity change is highly relevant with the velocity of vertical motion.The Himalaya Mountain has the greatest positive value of gravity change in the south of the QinghaiTibet Plateau, because it has the greatest positive velocity of vertical motion. The Junggar Basin has the greatest negative value of gravity change, because it has velocity of the greatest negative value of vertical motion. The Tarim Basin and Qaidam Basin have velocity of smaller negative value of vertical motion than The Jungar Basin’s, so they have gravity change of smaller negative value too.
