When we’re told about newly released satellite images of our Earth, we imagine beautiful swathes of green and blue with the occasional white of swirling storm clouds or snow-topped mountain ranges.

The Indian Ocean looks flat from above, but one part of it sits far lower than it should. South of India, the sea surface ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Gravity feels steady. You drop a set of keys, and they fall the same way every time. That reliability makes it tempting to picture Earth’s pull as uniform. It is not. After accounting for Earth’s ...

The Earth's interior is still a mystery to us. While we have sent missions to probe the outer reaches of our Solar system, the deepest boreholes on Earth go down to only a few kilometres. The only way ...
