Researchers at Northwestern University have found evidence for a massive reservoir of water deep within the Earth's mantle. The reservoir, which is said to be three times the volume of the oceans on the surface, is contained within highly-pressurized rock known as ringwoodite.
The new research lends credence to theories that our oceans originated on Earth. However, more tests will need to be conducted moving forward.
