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 ...

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 ...

Scientists haven't been able to reach the bottom.

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 ...

With its incomparable setting next to the Pacific Ocean on California’s Monterey Peninsula, Pebble Beach is a bonanza of ...

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

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 Taam ja’ is blue hole is still defined by what we don’t know. We can say it’s deeper than 1,390 feet, and the bottom hasn’t been found.

F rom space, planet Earth looks like a perfect sphere. But it’s not. Obviously, the crust of the Earth is irregular, covered in jagged mountains and deep oceanic trenches, but even if it were ...

LONDON (ANI) – Researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have found that the damage caused by the ozone hole to the Southern Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon can be reversed—but only if ...

For people with "thalassophobia," or the fear of deep bodies of water, blue holes are something out of a nightmare. These massive vertical caves open up in the shallow waters near coastlines, but blue ...
