In fact, in addition to the mysterious ocean, there is a more mysterious place on the earth, and that is the interior of the earth. With the progress of science and technology, we can now go deep into the seabed 10000 meters. Although we know little about the ocean, the secrets of the ocean will be completely revealed in a short time as long as we explore deeply.
However, there is no good way to go deep into the earth's interior except using seismic waves for some vague detection. Soviet scientists once conducted ultra-deep drilling experiments in Kola. The experiment has a history of 20 years, and the drilling depth is 12262 meters. It is the deepest underground borehole in the world, but it is still far from drilling through the earth's crust, let alone going deep into the mantle and geocentric layers for exploration. The truly mysterious region inside the earth may be the mantle layer.
Scientists have been exploring the connection between the ocean and the deep underground, because the ocean is the closest place to the mantle. What's the connection between them? Through long-term exploration, scientists have found that the water on the surface of the earth has been flowing deep underground. According to New Science, scientists have discovered a problem, that is, in the past 654.38+0.5 billion years, water from the ocean has been flowing into the earth's interior. The loss of water is equivalent to a sea level drop of at least 50 meters, and even the highest possible 130 meters.
Is this the earth constantly "drinking water"? If so, the amount of water flowing into the earth's interior after hundreds of millions of years will be a huge number. Where did so much water go after it flowed into the interior of the earth? At first, scientists thought that the water might have penetrated into the rocks in the crust and could not flow into the mantle. The reason is that the mantle is a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, and there are liquid high-temperature substances everywhere. How can water be allowed to exist?
However, according to the scientific report, in 20 18, scientific researchers studied the Mariana Trench, the deepest trench in the world, and found that the slow collision between submarine tectonic plates was sucking water into the depths of the earth, which was more than three times as much as we expected. Water may have crossed the crust and entered the mantle.
If the earth's absorption can go deep into the mantle layer this time, it means that a large amount of water may enter the mantle layer in the long hundreds of millions of years. So is it true that all this water was evaporated by high temperature after it flowed into the crust and mantle? The study found that the situation may not be so simple. The interior of the earth is very mysterious, and what seismic waves detect is only a vague situation. We don't know what the real mantle layer is now.
Moreover, scientists used seismic waves to detect the interior of the earth and found two huge "tumors". These two huge solid objects are all in the mantle layer, and their height even exceeds hundreds of Mount Everest. But until today, no one still knows what they are.
There are two very large masses between the center of the earth and the outer core of the earth and the mantle, one under the Pacific plate and the other under the African continent, with a diameter of about 1500 km, which is equivalent to the diameter of the moon between the mantle and the outer core.
These two lumps are deep underground, about 2000 kilometers underground, and the temperature in that place is about 2000℃. It is hard for us to imagine how there can be such a huge solid matter in such a deep place. What are they? If there can be solid matter or mountain peaks in the mantle, it seems that it is not completely impossible to have water.
It is possible that the mysterious mantle layer is not completely in the environment of high temperature and high pressure, and it may be divided into several levels. The environment at different levels is not the same. Perhaps the temperature and pressure of a certain layer are not high enough to allow liquid water to exist, thus forming an underground ocean.
There may be oceans inside the earth, but it may not be a legend. I believe many people have heard that there was a global flood on the earth a long time ago, which flooded the land and then the water receded before reappearing. According to the normal situation, although the water on the earth's surface accounts for 7 1%, it is not enough to launch a global flood and flood the land.
If the prehistoric flood really happened, then there may be a third-party water to join in, and this third-party water may be water from the interior of the earth. Perhaps there was a major plate movement on the earth at that time, which led to a large amount of water pouring into the surface of the earth, thus triggering a global flood. Later, the water that poured into the surface returned to the interior of the earth, and the flood receded.
If the prehistoric flood is true, then there may really be a huge ocean inside the earth that is no less than the surface. So where is this ocean underground, the crust or the mantle? To truly understand the situation inside the earth, it is not enough to rely solely on seismic waves. With the continuous progress of human science and technology, in order to have stronger excavation equipment, it is believed that it will drill into the mantle layer and deep underground, and then let the detection equipment go deep into it to detect.
If there really is a hole in the earth, I believe we can understand it then. Perhaps in the future, the interior of the earth will bring great surprises to mankind. At present, the surface water discovered by scientists is continuously flowing into the earth every year, which is also a good thing for the current human environment. You know, with the global temperature rising, the global ice and snow are melting and the sea level is rising.
Although the amount of water produced by melting ice is greater than that flowing into the earth, the amount of water flowing into the earth will still slow down the rise of sea level, giving people more time to find solutions.
