In recent years, the world of science has been buzzing with a plethora of mind-boggling discoveries. From black holes and holes in the sun to the reappearance of a missing continent, these findings have captivated our imaginations. However, the latest revelation is perhaps the most astonishing of them all - a vast, hidden ocean deep beneath the Earth's crust.
It turns out that 400 miles beneath the Earth's surface lies an immense supply of water, stored within a type of rock called ringwoodite. This remarkable finding was first published in a scientific paper titled 'Dehydration melting at the top of the lower mantle' back in 2014. The study uncovered the presence of water stored in mantle rock, exhibiting a unique state that defies classification as a liquid, solid, or gas. This fourth state of water challenges our conventional understanding.
