Deep Earth May Hold an Ocean Earth's deep interior, more than 1,000 kilometers below the surface in the mantle, could prove to be a watery place. That's the conclusion researchers drew from an anomaly uncovered by the first global map of Earth's lower mantle, using a new type of seismic analysis. |
