NASA’s gravity maps show Earth’s gravity is uneven, with some anomalies linked to deep structures inside the planet rather than the surface we see

NASA's GRACE satellites mapped subtle variations in Earth's gravity field. These gravity anomalies originate from dense and less-dense rock regions deep within the mantle. One significant gravity low exists beneath Antarctica, which evolved over millions of years. This deep-Earth influence reshapes the planet's surface over geological timescales. Gravity maps offer insights into Earth's hidden interior and its long-term evolution.
