In the Indian Ocean, there is a place where the laws of gravity seem to falter—a gigantic depression in the Earth’s geoid ...

Called the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), it features ... “It is the lowest geoid/gravity anomaly on Earth and so far no ...

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 ...

Beneath the Indian Ocean lies a gravitational enigma ... “It is the lowest geoid/gravity anomaly on Earth, and so far, no consensus existed regarding its source.” Unlike other geoid ...

When teachers explain ocean tides, they frequently describe how the moon's gravity pulls on Earth and all of its water. This, they often say, leads to a gravitational imbalance, which stretches ...

New research suggests the IOGL is caused by hot, low-density mantle material rising from deep inside Earth — a hidden force shaping ocean basins. Far from a perfect sphere, Earth’s gravity ...
