Scientists discovered a sixth ocean 700 kilometers beneath the Earth’s surface

Scientists discovered a sixth ocean 700 kilometers beneath the Earth’s surface.
Northwestern University scientists have revealed that the ocean exists in the Earth’s mantle.
This discovery supported the theory that oceans originated from Earth’s interior rather than from cometary impacts.
It is not a usual ocean, the water molecules are trapped within ringwoodite’s crystal structure in this ocean.
In this way, large amounts of water can be stored in a compact space.
Scientists believe that this ocean will play a crucial role in maintaining surface ocean stability.
Scientists have planned to gather global seismic data from around the world to understand the implications of this hidden ocean.
Scientists aim to determine if mantle melting is a universal or regional phenomenon.
This will provide deeper insights into Earth’s water cycle. This discovery suggests that the Earth’s water cycle is more complex.
