Ocean hidden inside the earth scientists found huge reserves of 700 km below

About 71 percent of our Earth’s surface is submerged in water. It includes water from oceans, rivers, lakes. Now a recent discovery has detected a new source of water on Earth. Researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois, USA have discovered the huge water reserves below the Earth’s surface. Interestingly, the water inside the earth can be three times the water on its surface. The new water reserves have been discovered about 700 km below the surface of the earth. One Report According to, scientists got this information while finding a clue of the origin of water on the earth. He came to know about the hidden ocean inside the mineral named Ringwoodite.

This research can open new ways to understand the water cycle on the earth. Interestingly, the water that has been found is three times more than the total water on the surface of the earth.

What is the meaning of this discovery

This discovery is quite important. A large number of scientists have believed that the water on the earth may have come from collision with comets. The new discovery forces to think that the oceans on the earth may have come out from inside our planet. Northwestern University scientist Steven Jacobsen said in an interview that we have found strong evidence that water on the earth has come from inside the earth. To reach their conclusion, scientists used 2000 seasisms installed in the US. He studied the last 500 earthquakes and tested his waves. When the earthquake waves passed through the Earth’s core, their speed decreased. This showed that there is water in the rocks inside the earth.
