An ocean inside the Earth? Water is determined to be hundreds of kilometers down

Summary by Ground News

A rare type of diamond may suggest that water can penetrate deeper into Earth's interior than scientists previously thought. Inclusions in this 1.5 carat diamond held evidence of minerals that formed in the lower mantle. The results could have implications for understanding the deep water cycle, or the cycle of water between the planet's surface and deep interior.

An ocean inside the Earth? Water is determined to be hundreds of kilometers down

The transition zone between the Earth's upper and lower mantle contains considerable quantities of water, according to an international study involving the Institute for Geosciences at Goethe University in Frankfurt. The German-Italian-American research team analyzed a rare diamond formed 660 meters below the Earth's surface using techniques including Raman spectroscopy and FTIR spectrometry. The study confirmed something that for a long time was
