Michelle York+FollowEarth’s Secret Ocean Is 400 Miles Down?!Mind = blown. Turns out there’s a hidden ocean stashed 400 miles beneath our feet—like, more water than all the surface oceans combined! It’s trapped in a weird, sponge-like rock called ringwoodite. Scientists only figured this out by studying earthquake shockwaves. Imagine: the planet’s got a whole secret water cycle happening underground. Suddenly, the surface oceans feel a lot less impressive. What else is hiding down there?! #Science #ScienceNews #EarthMysteries212Share
James Brady+FollowAntarctica’s Hidden Alps?!Turns out, Antarctica’s been hiding a whole mountain range the size of the Alps for over 500 million years—completely buried under miles of ice! Scientists just confirmed these ancient peaks, called the Gamburtsev Mountains, were formed when supercontinents collided, and they’re still lurking beneath the surface. Oh, and there are even deeper 'mountains' at the Earth’s core-mantle boundary, some taller than Everest. Earth’s got secrets on secrets! #Antarctica #Geology #HiddenWorlds #ScienceFacts #EarthMysteries #Science00Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowEarth’s Crust is Peeling Away! 😮Guys, did you hear about the Earth’s crust literally peeling away under the Sierra Nevada? Yep, scientists are saying there's some deep rock action happening that’s uncovering secrets about how our continents formed. 🌎 This rare geological drama could help us understand earthquakes better. It’s like the Earth is shedding old layers, and it’s all happening right beneath Yosemite. Wild, right? Imagine hiking up there and not knowing what's deep down below! What do you think about these hidden processes shaping our world? #EarthMysteries #GeologyNerds #EarthMysteries #GeologyNerds #Science82Share
