Massive ‘Gravity Anomaly’ Caused by Ancient #Sea Remnants Deep Inside #Earth, Study Says
The remains of the prehistoric #Tethys #Ocean are now inside the Earth, causing a massive #gravity anomaly in the Indian Ocean. The massive #gravityanomaly has puzzled scientists for years. Now, a new study proposes that the ancient remains of another ocean that sank deep into the Earth itself gave rise to the #IndianOcean geoid low (#IOGL), as the anomaly is called.
