Scientific paper

Earth and its satellite both are well studied topographically and gravimetrically. It turned out that at both bodies there are solitary unique planetary scale objects origin of which puzzles scientists. Geophysicists know about existence of an unique depression in the geoid form on the Indian Ocean aquatory deep -112 m but its origin is mysterious. According to prevailing since some time the plate tectonics the bas in of the Indian Ocean was formed as a result of moving apart core blocks around a triple junction of the middle -ocean ridges. Such interpretation of the present tectonics contradicts to a real disposition of different ages planetary geologic blocks around the Indian minimum [1] and does not explain its profound nature. The min imu m occurs at the axe "b" of three ma in Earth's mo ments of inertia and thus is a fundamental part of its rotation figure [2].
