5Q) Recently, Researchers may have uncovered the cause of the mysterious "gravity hole" in which of the following ocean?


Show/Hide The Explanation of Answer

⇨ Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science may have uncovered the cause of the mysterious "gravity hole" in the Indian Ocean.

⇨ While it is easy to imagine the Earth as a perfect sphere that has uniform gravity all over, that is far from the case.

⇨ But that is not the case; our planet is flat at the poles and it bulges at the equator.

⇨ Also, it doesn’t have uniform gravity everywhere.

⇨ The strength of the gravitational pull at any part of the world is dependent on the mass of the Earth’s crust, mantle, and core beneath that particular region.

⇨ Interestingly, a massive region in the Indian Ocean, about 1,200 kilometers southwest of the southernmost tip of India, has such a low pull of gravity that the sea level of the Indian Ocean over the “hole” is around 106 meters below the global average.

⇨ This pronounced dip in the ocean is called the Indian Ocean geoid low (IOGL) and was discovered in 1948 during a survey by Dutch geophysicist Felix Andries Vening Meinesz.

⇨ According to a study published in the journal 'Geophysical Research Letters, IOGL is formed from remnants of Tethys, an ancient sea.

⇨ Tethys was a prehistoric ocean that separated the mega-continents Gondwana and Laurasia.
