18:37, Tue, Jul 25, 2023 Updated: 20:03, Tue, Jul 25, 2023 A mysterious “gravity hole” in the Indian Ocean where the Earth’s pull is significantly lower than elsewhere is caused by plumes of magma ...

The ground may feel steady underfoot, but the planet is always in motion. While satellites and sensors have mapped the surface in fine detail, what lies beneath remains largely unknown. The crust, a ...

There’s a massive “hole” in the Indian Ocean, researchers say—but it’s not the kind that could drain away all that water. Instead it’s a term geologists use to describe a spot where Earth’s gravity is ...

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 ...

Panaji: Puzzled over the large geoid anomalies in the Indian Ocean just south of Sri Lanka, where a deep-seated earth structure exists, scientists from the National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research ...
