Antarctica's Gravity Hole Growing Stronger, Scientists Find
- New research finds Antarctica's gravity hole has intensified over tens of millions of years.
- Scientists mapped the gravity hole 70 million years ago to study its changes.
- The study used global earthquake recordings to illuminate the Earth's interior.
- Researchers say gravity shifts may relate to sea level changes via ice sheet growth.
- The authors caution that the gravity hole is not a definitive causal link to ice growth.
- The research aims to understand how Earth’s interior shapes gravity and sea levels.
- The study links Antarctic climate changes to the formation of glaciers and sea level impacts.
- Futurism reports the work is published in Scientific Reports by Forte and Glišović.
- The team used a CT-scan analogy to describe how earthquake waves reveal Earth's interior.
- The researchers aim to test whether sea level changes are directly influenced by the gravity hole.
