The team ran 19 simulations and in 6 of them, the Indian Ocean Geoid Low formed, said Ghosh, who researched the case with Ph.D. candidate Debanjan Pal.

The “gravity hole” in the Indian Ocean — officially called the Indian Ocean geoid low — is the lowest point in that geoid and its biggest gravitational anomaly, forming a circular ...

Once sinking slabs from a prehistoric ocean moved years ago and reached the Earth’s mantle, plumes formed, creating the low spot, researchers say.

The Indian Ocean geoid low (IOGL) is a 1.2 million-square-mile (3 million square kilometers) depression found 746 miles (1,200 kilometers) southwest of India.

“But the geoid low in the Indian Ocean is one of the most profound gravitational anomalies on our planet.” The gravity hole likely took its current shape about 20 million years ago and will ...
