A huge, mysterious so-called “gravity hole” under the Indian Ocean might have been formed from the remnants of an ancient sea, according to a new study. Researchers recently offered the ...

The area of Earth with the lowest relative gravity is located just south of India in the Indian Ocean. This gravity “hole” may be due to low-density plumes of magma disturbed by the sinking ...

The Indian Ocean has a gravity hole where sea levels are about 300 feet lower than nearby areas. Local gravity is slightly lower there, which has puzzled scientists for decades. The gravity hole ...

Professor Attreyee Ghosh’s assertion that “The Earth is basically a lumpy potato,” will appeal to those who are curious about ...

There is a “gravity hole” in the Indian Ocean — a spot where Earth’s gravitational pull is weaker, its mass is lower than normal, and the sea level dips by over 328 feet (100 meters).

Called the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), it features an enormous dip in the ocean’s surface, dropping 106 meters lower than surrounding areas. This "gravity hole" has baffled scientists for ...

Scientists have puzzled over the origins of a gravity hole in the Indian Ocean for years. Now, researchers think the sunken floor of an extinct ocean could be the cause. Scientists may have ...
