Earth appears another 'super ocean of death'?

Scientists may have found where Earth's first super ocean is hiding.

Deep within the Earth 3,000km below our feet, there is a mysterious band of matter called 'layer D', which has long fascinated scientists.

Layer D is uneven, with thin and thick patches mixed in, like the ocean floor. New research shows that it may be an ocean that humanity has never known.

This ocean was on land billions of years ago, just like the current 5 oceans.

According to Science Alert, a team of authors led by data scientist Qingyang Hu from the Advanced High Pressure Science and Technology Research Center (HPSTAR) in Beijing, this ancient ocean did not contain water, but magma. hydrated.

It may be Earth's first ocean , a "super ocean of death" of the Fire City era , a time when the young Earth was still a fiery ball and had no life.

These chemical processes within the ocean lead to accumulations of iron-rich material, which in turn causes the ocean floor to become as uneven as layer D shows.

This ocean could have been born from the hypothetical collision between the early Earth and the planet Theia 4.5 billion years ago, which was also the event that created the Moon.

Of course, looking back so far into the past isn't easy, and there's still a lot of scientific debate about what lies beneath the Earth's surface and how it got there.

Scientists hope that new techniques in the future will help determine this, thereby helping to visualize the early Earth, as well as understand more about what changes helped life arise.
