About 4.6 billion years ago, the Earth looked nothing like the blue planet that we know today. Frequent and violent impacts stirred up both the surface and the interior, turning everything into a boiling ocean of magma, an environment so extreme that liquid water could not exist.At that time our planet must have been the living image of hell.And yet today, 70% of the earth's surface is covered with oceans...But how could water resist in that lav…
Chinese scientists reveal how deep mantle water made Earth habitable
Chinese scientists have uncovered a crucial mechanism explaining how Earth may have stored vast quantities of water in its infancy, shedding new light on the planet's dramatic evolution from a fiery ball of magma to the life-nurturing world of today.Researchers
Earth’s lower mantle trapped far more early water than previously thought
Earth’s deep interior still shapes the world above your feet. Water trapped far below the surface helps control how rocks move, melt, and recycle through the mantle. Some of that water carries a chemical signal from Earth’s earliest days, suggesting it arrived during the planet’s violent formation. What remained unclear was how much of this early water became locked inside the mantle as Earth cooled from a global magma ocean. New research offers…

informacion.esThe history of planet Earth began about 4.6 billion years ago and during all that time it has suffered all kinds of convulsions. Water was already present from its early stages, but it is still discussed how it remained in such rugged phases, with the mantle still melted. A team of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (GIGCAS) has discovered that substantial amounts of water could have been "enclosed" in the depths of the mantle by c…
