Scientists find why there is giant ‘hole' in Indian Ocean, where Earth’s gravity is at weakest
FAQ's
Where is the lowest gravity on Earth India?
One such point of low gravity is found just south of the Indian peninsula, called the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL). The geoid low spans a vast extent south of the Indian subcontinent, and is dominated by a significant low of minus 106 metres, or roughly 348 feet, south of Sri Lanka.
Where is the weakest gravity on Earth?
Somewhere roughly in the middle of the Indian Ocean is the deepest dent in Earth's gravitational field – the place where Earth's gravitational pull is the weakest.
What is a gravity hole?
(Grades K-4) series. A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying. Because no light can get out, people can't see black holes.
Which part of the Earth has a stronger gravity?
However, gravity isn't the same everywhere on Earth. Gravity is slightly stronger over places with more mass underground than over places with less mass.
