Earth, Mantle and Pacific Ocean

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.
A Lost World Beneath the Pacific Ocean? Mysterious Structures Discovered Deep Within Earth’s Mantle
Unexpected mantle structures hint at ancient or unknown materials, challenging current tectonic theories and prompting deeper research. No one can see inside the Earth or drill deep enough to collect rock samples from the mantle—the layer between Earth’s core and its outermost rigid layer,
