Ruins of another planet are rising in the heart of the Earth?-Information Technology

Two strange “blobs” that look like two continents from another planet hidden in the heart of the Earth are mysteriously changing shape.

Those are two strange structures – one below Africa, the other below the Pacific Ocean, with an area about the same as a continent but with a complex shape, like rising from an area 2,900 km below the Earth’s surface. They are thought to be the source of tall columns of hot rock known as “deep mantle plumes” reaching the Earth’s surface.

Scientists know these two structures have existed for a long time, but how they have evolved throughout Earth’s history is still an open question.

The article has just been published on The Conversation – made by a team of scientists from the universities of Wollongong (Australia), Leeds (UK) and Northwest (Xian – China), led by Dr. Nicolas Flament from The University of Wollongong – showed that these blobs are constantly changing.

They also have the ability to separate and then merge into a mass, in the same way that terrestrial continents repeatedly merge into supercontinents and then split into multiple continents in a mysterious process called “ant antism” create array”.

Using the Australian National Computational Infrastructure, the team ran computer simulations of how the Earth’s mantle – where the blobs reside – changes over 1 billion years.

The process of plate tectonics is also the cause of this change.

The accumulation of cold rock – dense oceanic matter – pushed down during subduction is pushing layers of warm color to the sides, possibly causing it to gather into a supermass on the other side of the planet. .Women

In addition, the blob beneath Africa also carries continental material, which appears to have been assembled only 60 million years ago.

According to Science Alert, despite everything, the origin of the blobs remains a mystery so far. There are two most popular theories: They are assembled from many pieces of surface and mantle material during plate tectonics; or they are the remains of Theia – a hypothetical planet the size of Mars that crashed and merged with Earth 4.5 billion years ago.
