In the Indian Ocean, there is a place where the laws of gravity seem to falter—a gigantic depression in the Earth’s geoid where the gravitational force is weaker than normal, causing the sea level to ...

Known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), this region experiences weaker gravitational forces than anywhere else on Earth, and until now, its origins remained a mystery. New research ...

Known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), this anomaly has baffled scientists for decades. Now, a study published in Geophysical Research Letters offers the clearest explanation yet ...

This enigmatic phenomenon is also known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low, or IOGL, where the gravitational pull of Earth is significantly lower than the global average. The low gravity has resulted ...

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 ...
