Deep beneath the surface of our planet, scientists have uncovered evidence of a colossal water reservoir that rivals the oceans we sail and swim in, yet no vessel will ever chart its depths.
According to econews , at roughly 700 kilometres beneath Earth's crust , researchers have detected an enormous volume of water locked inside deep mantle rock. This subterranean reservoir could hold up to three times more water than all of Earth's surface oceans combined , reshaping how scientists understand the planet's internal structure and long-term water cycle.
