For years, researchers have tried to pinpoint how an area deep in the Indian Ocean with lower gravitational pull came to be. A team in India may have figured it out. The area in question is called the ...

A rendering of the Earth's gravity as seen by the European Space Agency' Goce satellite. Yellow and orange regions are those with more gravity and the blue, marked over the Indian Ocean, shows where ...

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 possible ...

(CNN) — 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). This ...

There is a place on Earth where the laws of gravity as we know them do not apply. Officially known as “the Indian Ocean geoid low” (IOGL), it is informally referred to as the Indian Ocean gravity hole ...

Researchers think they’ve found the reason for the most significant drop in Earth’s gravity, known as the Indian Ocean geoid low. In this location in the Indian Ocean south of Sri Lanka, our planet’s ...

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. When you purchase through ...
