The Indian Ocean Geoid Low ranks as the largest negative "gravity hole" anomaly on Earth, which is why the “thumbprint” jumps ...

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 ...

For over seventy years, a mysterious gravitational depression beneath the Indian Ocean has baffled scientists. Known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), it marks the deepest point in Earth’s gravity ...

Deep below the Indian Ocean, there’s a giant “gravity hole” over one million square miles in size, a depression in the Earth’s crust that has puzzled scientists for decades. While it’s technically not ...

The Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), a significant gravitational anomaly, has puzzled scientists for decades. Research suggests it formed due to interactions between tectonic plates and mantle plumes ...

An enormous gravity hole lying in the Indian Ocean has been discovered by researchers at the Indian Institute of Science. The sea level only dips because of a gravitational tug-of-war just off the tip ...

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 ...

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 ...

Beneath the Indian Ocean lies a gravitational enigma — a vast depression where the ocean surface dips 106 meters lower than surrounding areas. Known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), this anomaly ...
