Gravity hole

 Gravity hole is in Indian ocean near Sri Lanka.. 


What is a gravity hole ?


As per satellite images,  there is a vast section of the Indian ocean seafloor that weirdly keep sinking into a depression as if there is less mass under that region.


Now it has been said that earth's gravity is very low in this region. Hence it is called gravity hole.


Most likely reason for the formation of gravity hole is magma pumes. This is formed because of movement of tactonic plates.
