This problem is related to differences between theorical model and real
world : theorical model is just a restricted set of things from real world.
Are gravity variations created by underground density variations handled by
the d20 rules ? No, because it would lead to unplayable rules, although
these variations exist in reality, and, if I remember, can be used to
detect underground water.
This is a question of balance between realism and playing fun. The
d20-system is not the most realistic, but I think it's acceptable. If you
are looking for more realism, look at ICE's system.
