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).

Called the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), it features an enormous dip in the ocean’s surface, dropping 106 meters lower than surrounding areas. This "gravity hole" has baffled scientists for ...

Amidst the technicolor tidal pools and glittering rocks of the Oregon Coast sits what looks to be a sinkhole in the ocean ... hikers a stunning view. Actually just a hole in a seaside rock, ...

It is found in the depths of Indian Ocean and named as the gravity hole or Indian Ocean geoid low, an anomaly on earth where gravity is said to be weaker, and levels of sea dip by more than 328 feet ...

It's a common childhood fantasy: What if you dug a hole ... ocean compared to land, chances are fairly strong that no matter where you start digging, you'll find yourself in an ocean on the other ...

The scientific team working with Branson will now be producing a 3D view of the Great Blue hole. They are also involved in Ocean Unite—a conservation group that hopes to protect 30 percent of ...

Sinkholes don't just happen on land, they also happen in the ocean where they're known as blue holes. And now, researchers say they've found the deepest one yet on the planet – one so large that ...

The area of Earth with the lowest relative gravity is located just south of India in the Indian Ocean. This gravity “hole” may be due to low-density plumes of magma disturbed by the sinking ...

Scientists have puzzled over the origins of a gravity hole in the Indian Ocean for years. Now, researchers think the sunken floor of an extinct ocean could be the cause. When you purchase through ...

New research suggests that the negative effects of the ozone hole on the carbon uptake of the Southern Ocean are reversible, ...

New research suggests that the negative effects of the ozone hole on the carbon uptake of the Southern Ocean are reversible, but only if greenhouse gas emissions rapidly decrease. The study finds that ...
