The Indian Ocean "gravity hole" is the site of the deepest dent in Earth's gravitational field. It's a circular ocean region with a gravitational pull that's so weak, sea levels are 348 feet (106 ...

(Its enormity, as well as the fact that the ocean looks relatively flat at any given point, means the dip isn’t visible at the surface.) As a result of the low pull of gravity there, combined ...

Despite how far away the moon is, the moon’s gravitational pull on Earth significantly influences the movement of tides. The gravitational pull of the moon on Earth causes a shift in Earth’s ...

There is a “gravity hole” in the Indian Ocean — a spot where Earth’s gravitational pull is weaker, its mass is lower than normal, and the sea level dips by over 328 feet (100 meters).

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 ...

What's more, because some areas of Earth are more dense than others, they exert different types of gravitational pull on the mass above it. As a result, if all of Earth's ocean existed under ...

It's a circular ocean region with a gravitational pull that's so weak, sea levels are 348 feet (106 meters) lower there than elsewhere on Earth. Discovered in 1948, the origins of this giant ...
