Beneath the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, a strange phenomenon has puzzled scientists for decades—a massive gravitational anomaly where the ocean surface dips an astonishing 106 meters lower than ...
They suggest that plumes of magma from deep within the Earth, similar to those involved in volcanic creation, are responsible What is the gravity hole? In layman language, the Indian Ocean Geoid ...
New research suggests the IOGL is caused by hot, low-density mantle material rising from deep inside Earth — a hidden force shaping ocean basins ... Will this gravity hole vanish?
The Indian Ocean "gravity hole" is Earth's deepest geoid low. Its weak gravitational pull makes sea levels here 348 feet lower than average, creating a 1.2-million-square-mile anomaly southwest of ...
