Ancient Supercontinents Found Deep Within Earth's Mantle
New research using seismic wave attenuation analysis reveals two enormous supercontinents buried deep within Earth's mantle, challenging previous assumptions about the mantle's consistency and composition; these structures may be ancient anchors influencing plate tectonics and potentially the source...

Ocean Salinity: A Dynamic Equilibrium of Mineral Inputs and Outputs
The salinity of the ocean results from a continuous process where rivers carry dissolved minerals from land to the ocean, and hydrothermal vents and underwater volcanoes add more, maintaining a dynamic equilibrium over millions of years, resulting in an average of 3.5% salinity, although geographic ...

Ancient Mantle 'Supercontinents' Challenge Earth's Convection Models
New research using seismic wave data reveals two massive, unmixed "supercontinents" in Earth's mantle, beneath Africa and the Pacific Ocean, challenging previous models and suggesting they are significantly older and more stable than thought, influencing mantle activity and plate tectonics.
