Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million ...

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

Origins of ‘gravity hole’ over Antarctica finally unveiled - Researchers found that shifting gravity patterns may have ...

For a long time, scientists knew of a “gravity hole” beneath Antarctica—an area with particularly weak gravitational force. Considering the various threats currently faced by the region, scientists ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The research suggests that changes in Earth's interior may have influenced Antarctica's climate history.

This strange 'gravity hole' beneath Antarctica could help explain how its ice and oceans changed over millions of years.

While a "gravity hole" in Antarctica has been on scientists’ radar for some time, its history has never been fully understood. New research is beginning to change that, and in doing so, suggest ...
