Scientists from the California technological institute and the Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, Switzerland (ETH) used a new method to analyze the Earth’s coat – the layer under the cortex and above the melted nucleus – which revealed strange characteristics of the tectonic plates under the body of water and inside the continents.
The existence of these Mysterious structures in the depths of the peaceful oceanwith an approximate age of 4,000 million yearsIn places where, according to current theories, they should not exist, it prompted researchers to suggest that there is “a lost world” under the sea.
This new investigation reveals a “great mystery” in the depths of the plans of water and the crust of the planet, and now the experts rethink what they know from the earth.

How they discovered this “lost world” in the depths of the ocean
This revolutionary discovery was made thanks to high resolution modeling inside the earth, using several Types of seismic waves To discover the secrets of the interior of our planet. “But we don’t know exactly what they are,” he said Thomas Schoutenof the Geological Institute of ETH.

Using a super -owner to analyze data from the earthquake, researchers have found areas that seem to be leftover tectonic plates immersed in completely unusual places or mineral deposits accumulated in the coat over time; A “lost world” in the depths of the peaceful oceanAccording to the Declaration of the ETH of Zurich.
“It is like a doctor who has been examining blood circulation for decades and suddenly sees an artery in the buttock that does not really belong to it. This is exactly what we think of new conclusions, ”explains the teacher Andreas Fichtnerone of the authors of the study.

The discovery questions our current understanding of Tectonic earth plates And that raises researchers a great mystery. To solve the enigma, researchers must develop more sophisticated models that allow them to understand the material properties that underlie these abnormal speed models.
