Antarctica's 'Gravity Hole' Revealed: Earth's Deep Secret Uncovered
- •Scientists discovered the world's largest 'gravity hole' beneath Antarctica, where gravitational force is significantly weaker.
- •Florida University's Geophysics Professor Alessandro Forte revealed this mystery, attributing it to millions of years of geological activity.
- •The 'gravity low' is caused by unusually low rock density deep beneath the continent, affecting local sea levels.
- •Using seismic waves, scientists created an internal map of Earth, tracing the gravity hole's formation over 70 million years.
- •Research suggests a deep connection between Antarctica's climate and the gravity hole, potentially influencing ice formation and future melt.
