A vast “gravity hole” beneath Antarctica became stronger as the continent shifted into an ice-dominated world tens of ...

After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...

The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...

Gravity seems constant but it turns out, Earth is weirder than that. Gravity actually wobbles a bit across the planet. And ...

Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, the strength of gravity varies over Earth's surface. And it is weakest ...

The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...

Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million years ago. This corresponds to large-scale changes in the continent’s ...

Learn how Antarctica’s gravity hole formed inside Earth and grew stronger as its ice sheets took hold.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A ‘gravity hole’ on Earth? Earlier this summer, researchers with the Indian Institute of Science published a paper exploring one of these ‘gravity holes’. Found all over the planet, ...

We treat gravity as a firm law, but the ground beneath Antarctica tells a ...
