Contrary to what you may intuit, the Earth's gravity isn't uniform, and there's one place where it's much weaker than anyone ...

Despite centuries of efforts to map our planet precisely, our view of the world will always be political and imperfect.

Using advanced computer simulations, researchers have reconstructed the geological past of the region, uncovering a surprising culprit: a mass of hot, low-density material rising from the deep mantle.

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 ...

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 ...
