2024年4月4日 · Researchers, led by geophysicist Steven Jacobsen, stumbled upon a colossal water reservoir trapped within the Earth's mantle, a scorching hot layer beneath the crust. This hidden ocean, three times...

2014年6月12日 · A reservoir of water three times the volume of all the oceans has been discovered deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The finding could help explain where Earth’s seas came from.

2019年8月1日 · So how'd they find the ocean? Here's a hint: It wasn't through a Jules Verne–esque "Journey to the Center of the Earth." Actually, the clue came in the form of a brown diamond that formed about 400 miles (644 kilometers) beneath the crust.

Now, people are only just realising that there’s a massive ocean hidden under the Earth’s crust. It turns out there’s a huge supply of water 400 miles underground stored in rock known as ...

2023年3月28日 · Research has found that ringwoodite can contain up to 1.5 percent water. If the ringwoodite under the surface has just 1 percent water in its molecular build-up, it would mean that it holds three times more water than all of the oceans on the Earth's surface.

2023年10月24日 · In 2014 scientists discovered that we essentially have a reservoir of water hidden beneath our feet - though it might not look that way at first. This absolutely massive supply of water is buried a whopping 400 miles underground, so it's not exactly accessible.

2024年4月3日 · Scientists reveal a colossal ocean 700km beneath Earth's surface, challenging our understanding of water origins. Ringwoodite, a mineral acting like a "sponge," holds this vast reservoir. Seismic analysis unveiled its presence, suggesting Earth's water may originate internally, not from comets.

2025年1月28日 · Now, people are only just realising that there’s a massive ocean hidden under the Earth’s crust. It turns out there’s a huge supply of water 400 miles underground stored in rock known as 'ringwoodite'. Scientists previously discovered that water is stored inside mantle rock in a sponge-like state, which isn’t a liquid, solid or a gas ...

2016年11月28日 · Scientists have made an incredible discovery: Earth has an underground ocean – deep underground, in the planet’s lower mantle far beneath the crust. The underground ocean consists of water trapped within minerals, and …

2024年8月29日 · Thanks to the discovery of a mineral called ringwoodite, a team of scientists made a surprising discovery that could change how we think about Earth’s water reserves. The researchers found strong evidence that huge amounts of water — comparable to several oceans — are hidden deep within the Earth’s mantle beneath the United States.
