SCIENTISTS HAVE DISCOVERED A HIDDEN GIGANTIC WATER RESERVOIR 700 KMs BELOW EARTH’S SURFACE. IT IS SAID TO BE THREE TIMES THE SIZE OF ALL OCEANS ON EARTH.
WILL THIS SOLVE THE WATER CRISIS? WHAT DO YOU THINK?
THIS REVELATION HAS OPENED NEW AVENUE OF PROOF THAT EARTH’S WATER CAME FROM INSIDE.
Scientists from Northwestern University, Illinois, have made a groundbreaking discovery of a massive reservoir of water beneath Earth’s surface, hidden within a rock called ringwoodite. This reservoir, three times the size of Earth’s oceans combined, lies 700 km below the planet’s surface. Published in the ‘Science’ magazine, the findings suggest that this subterranean ocean, trapped within ringwoodite, could be the primary source of water on Earth’s surface. Lead researcher Steven Jacobsen highlights the unique properties of ringwoodite, likening it to a sponge that attracts and traps water due to its crystal structure. The discovery sheds light on a potential whole-Earth water cycle, providing crucial insights into the planet’s hydrological processes. Utilizing seismic data from over 500 earthquakes and 2000 seismographs across the United States, researchers inferred the presence of this vast water deposit. This groundbreaking revelation has significant implications for our understanding of Earth’s geological and hydrological systems.
