Scientists have accidentally discovered a 'ghost plume' beneath eastern Oman, a mantle plume with no surface volcanic activity, which could reshape understanding of Earth's heat transfer and geologic processes.
Scientists have discovered a mysterious 'ghost plume' of hot rock beneath eastern Oman, which suggests that Earth's core may be leaking heat faster than previously thought. This invisible mantle plume, detected through seismic wave analysis, does not produce surface volcanic activity due to a thick rock lid, but its existence could imply many more such plumes worldwide, impacting our understanding of Earth's internal heat distribution and tectonic processes.
Scientists have identified a 'ghost' mantle plume beneath Oman, a hot rock column with no surface volcanic activity, which could reshape understanding of Earth's internal heat flow and geological processes. The discovery, based on seismic data and computer modeling, suggests the existence of similar hidden plumes worldwide, potentially impacting models of Earth's thermal evolution.
Recent research has identified a mysterious 'ghost plume' beneath Oman, a column of hot rock rising from Earth's lower mantle without surface volcanic activity, suggesting that heat from the Earth's core may be venting through hidden pathways, potentially altering our understanding of Earth's internal heat distribution and geological processes.
