Subterranean ocean discovered deep within earth's mantle

Scientific exploration has revealed a vast reservoir of water far beneath the Earth's surface. This subterranean ocean, located approximately 400 kilometers (250 miles) deep, challenges existing understandings of the planet's geophysical systems. The immense water reserve resides within the Earth's mantle, trapped inside a mineral known as ringwoodite.This mineral acts like a sponge, absorbing and retaining water within its crystalline structure. Geophysicists confirmed this phenomenon by mapping the hidden water using seismic waves generated by earthquakes. Analysis revealed that these waves were altered as they passed through the mantle region containing ringwoodite.This discovery prompts a reassessment of the Earth's overall water cycle. The existence of this substantial underground reserve suggests a more extensive cycle with far deeper dimensions. Understanding this comprehensive cycle may also provide insights into water formation mechanisms on other planets. The discovery of this ocean hidden in the Earth's mantle invites us to rethink our understanding of the planet and its internal processes.
