A seismic study uncovered a massive, 12.4-mile-thick rock layer beneath Bermuda, challenging existing geological models and suggesting ancient volcanic activity may have contributed to the island's uplift, which defies typical mantle hotspot patterns. This discovery could reshape understanding of island formation and Earth's crustal processes.
