Scientists Discover Earth's Crust Flipped Upside Down in Unique Location
Scientists discovered that an oceanic slab, the "Alboran slab," beneath Granada, Spain, had completely flipped upside down as it was being pushed beneath its neighbor, the Eurasian slab, due to the presence of "hydrous magnesium silicates" roughly 370 miles beneath the surface. This unprecedented finding sheds light on how pieces of the Earth's crust interact and their relation to seismic activity, providing a fresh sense of wonder for the extraordinary geographical marvels of our home world.
