Researchers Uncover Ocean Larger Than Earth’s Surface Waters

Islamabad: Newly discovered by scientists, a massive ocean sits almost 700 kilometers underneath the surface of the planet.

This revelation echoes themes found in the works of renowned French novelist Jules Verne, who once speculated about the existence of an underground ocean in his novels.

The quest to unravel Earth’s water history has led researchers to this astonishing find. They have determined that this immense ocean resides within a blue rock known as ringwoodite, challenging our understanding of the origins of Earth’s water.

According to scientists, the volume of this subterranean ocean surpasses that of all surface oceans combined, marking a significant revelation in our comprehension of Earth’s water distribution.

This discovery has prompted a new theory regarding the Earth’s water cycle, suggesting that the oceans we see today may have originated from water concealed beneath the Earth’s crust.

Steven Jacobson, a researcher from Northwestern University in Illinois leading the study, asserts, “This discovery provides compelling evidence that Earth’s surface water originated from its interior.”

He further speculates that this hidden ocean could elucidate why the size of Earth’s oceans has remained relatively constant over millions of years.

This revelation not only deepens our understanding of Earth’s geological processes but also raises intriguing questions about the planet’s ancient history and the sources of its life-sustaining water.
