"Massive Ocean Discovered Deep Beneath Earth's Surface Surpasses All Surface Seas"

Researchers from Northwestern University have discovered a colossal ocean three times the size of all Earth's surface oceans combined, hidden deep within the Earth's mantle. This finding challenges existing theories about the origins of Earth's water, suggesting that it may have come from within the planet rather than from comet impacts. The discovery could revolutionize our understanding of the Earth's water cycle and fundamental processes, prompting further research to determine if mantle melting is a common occurrence worldwide.

"Massive Ocean Found 700km Below Earth's Surface Holds Triple the Volume of Surface Oceans"

Scientists have discovered a massive ocean hidden 700 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface, challenging previous theories about the origins of Earth's water. This ocean, found within the Earth's mantle, is three times the size of all the planet's surface oceans combined and may have implications for our understanding of the planet's water cycle. The discovery was made using seismic waves and could revolutionize our understanding of one of Earth's fundamental processes.
