Scientists Discover Upside-Down Earth's Crust in Mediterranean

Scientists studying strange earthquakes beneath Granada, Spain, discovered that an oceanic slab, the "Alboran slab," had completely flipped upside down as it was being pushed beneath its neighbor, the Eurasian slab. This unprecedented finding, detailed in a new paper, sheds light on how pieces of the Earth's crust interact and their relation to seismic activity, while also providing a fresh sense of wonder for the extraordinary geographical marvels of our planet.
