Discovered at 640 km underground of a reservoir containing 3 times more water than all the oceans combined

This is an extraordinary discovery made by researchers at Northwestern University (USA). Indeed, they discovered, over 640 km underground, an immense sheet of water, trapped in a transition zone, a kind of cavity composed of a rock under high pressure, "ringwoodite".

This discovery will allow the mineralogist team Steven Jacobsen to move on the path of the theory that the oceans would indeed have an underground origin. However, researchers must not stop at this level to demonstrate their theory without question, but must do many other tests.
