Pacific Ocean, Earth and Mantle

Newly discovered undersea structures stun scientists: ‘Is there a lost world beneath the Pacific Ocean?’
According to scientists from the California Institute of Technology and Swiss research university ETH Zurich, a new method for analyzing the Earth’s mantle — the layer below the crust and above the molten core — has revealed strange characteristics of tectonic plates below bodies of water and within the interior of continents.
