Scientists baffled by massive structures found deep beneath the ocean

Scientists at ETH Zurich and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have found massive structures deep beneath the Pacific waters that 'shouldn't exist'.

The article from MSN discusses the discovery of massive, mysterious structures deep beneath the ocean floor, which have left scientists puzzled. These structures, found in the Earth's mantle, are located beneath the Pacific Ocean and the African continent. They are believed to be remnants of an ancient ocean floor that was subducted into the mantle billions of years ago. These anomalies, known as Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs), are significantly denser and hotter than the surrounding mantle, suggesting they could be composed of different materials or have undergone different geological processes. Researchers speculate that these structures might influence volcanic activity, the Earth's magnetic field, and even the movement of tectonic plates. The exact composition and origin of these structures remain a subject of ongoing research, with theories suggesting they could be remnants of Theia, a Mars-sized body that is hypothesized to have collided with Earth, leading to the formation of the Moon.
