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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at IISc, Bengaluru, discovered a massive “Gravity Hole” at the bottom of the Indian Ocean. Scientists may have found the reason for the gravitational anomaly. Gravity Hole found at the ...

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 ...

New research suggests the IOGL is caused by hot, low-density mantle material rising from deep inside Earth — a hidden force shaping ocean basins. Far from a perfect sphere, Earth’s gravity field is ...

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 ...
