For years, researchers have tried to pinpoint how an area deep in the Indian Ocean with lower gravitational pull came to be. A team in India may have figured it out. The area in question is called the ...

For over seventy years, a mysterious gravitational depression beneath the Indian Ocean has baffled scientists. Known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), it marks the deepest point in Earth’s gravity ...

Researchers think they’ve found the reason for the most significant drop in Earth’s gravity, known as the Indian Ocean geoid low. In this location in the Indian Ocean south of Sri Lanka, our planet’s ...

Bottom line: There's a well-known "hole" in Earth's gravity field just off India's coastline, known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL). A new study is providing a potential explanation for this ...
