Scientists scanning the deep interior of Earth have found evidence of a vast water reservoir beneath eastern Asia that is at least the volume of the Arctic Ocean.

The discovery marks the first time such a large body of water has found in the planet’s deep mantle.

The finding, made by Michael Wysession, a seismologist at Washington State University in St. Louis, and his former graduate student Jesse Lawrence, now at the University of California, San Diego, will be detailed in a forthcoming monograph to be published by the American Geophysical Union...

Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

Wow. :freaked I wonder what kinds of life forms live in that water so deep inside the earth.


If you've ever seen the life forms that live at the bottom of the ocean, you know how weird and creepy they look. Can you imagine the ones living so deep and far inside the earth??? Wow. :freaked I bet they're something else! :nod

No animals will be living in this reservoir. Just like you can get earth held in suspension in water (called dirty water), natural rock also contains a percentage of water as molecules and air. This is simply a region with an unnaturally high percentage of water being held by the rock.

Although they appear solid, the composition of some ocean floor rocks is up to 15 percent water. “The water molecules are actually stuck in the mineral structure of the rock,” Wysession explained. “As you heat this up, it eventually dehydrates. It’s like taking clay and firing it to get all the water out.”

Oh my, my daughter just learned about the earths mantle and all the layers and water wasn't even mentioned. How long do you suppose it will be before this new "truth" about the inner earth be written as fact in the science textbooks?

Lake of fire? :confused

The article did talk about the water getting heated up.
