Antarctica sits above the strongest negative gravity anomaly on Earth, a region where the planet’s gravitational pull dips so ...
After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...
We tend to think of gravity as being about as constant as it gets. It is the invisible anchor that keeps our feet on the ...
Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million ...
Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...
"The ocean surface is definitely not flat. It is constantly changing as wind, waves and swells produce surface undulations, daily tidal fluctuations raise and lower the average height." ...
The ground may feel steady underfoot, but the planet is always in motion. While satellites and sensors have mapped the surface in fine detail, what lies beneath remains largely unknown. The crust, a ...
The Earth is a dynamic system constantly undergoing change. As the processes of change affect the Earth's topography—the heights of land, ice, and ocean surfaces—they also modify the distribution of ...
