Earth may hide two giant "continents" nearly 3, 000 km deep beneath Africa and the Pacific, and scientists now reveal that these buried structures are not only different from each other but may have been shaping heat flow, volcanism, and the very internal dynamics of the planet for hundreds of millions of years.
19+ hour, 11+ min ago (1146+ words) The study suggests, therefore, that these structures may have distinct origins and independent evolutionary histories, which significantly changes geoscientists" interpretation of the planet"s deep dynamics. Instead of treating these two regions as equivalent blocks, the authors argue that they…...
