Deep earthquakes could reveal secrets of the Earth\’s mantle: Study uses 350-mile-deep earthquake to make elusive measurements of the Earth\’s layers
A new study from the University of Chicago has revealed a surprisingly fluid layer of rock ringing the Earth at the bottom of the upper mantle. Using data from a deep earthquake in the Pacific Ocean near Fiji, geophysicist Sunyoung Park and her colleagues found evidence of a 50-mile thick layer of low-viscosity rock that […]
