Mystery! The Mariana Trench drops underwater four times
Due to the motion of the terrestrial planets, over time the continents themselves have been separated and merged. As a result of such geological movements, the Earth absorbs large amounts of water. According to new studies, the Earth consumes three times more water than previously thought. More mysterious water has been found in the mysterious Mariana Trench.
The findings from the Mariana Trench, which is considered to be the deepest place on earth, provide new conclusions. It is estimated that about three billion teragrams of water is being pumped into the earth every 10 years. One teragram alone is one billion (100 billion) kilograms.
The scientific world is already aware that water is going underground as a result of the motion of the Earth's plates. But a study led by Chen Ka of the University of Washington shows that the measurement was wrong. The study was published in the journal Nature.
Movements in the area were recorded with the help of 19 earthquake detectors stationed at the Mariana Trench. Data from seven seismic samplers placed on different islands were used for the study. With this, more detailed information on the motions of the Pacific region was obtained.
The study also reveals the importance of the motion of such terrestrial planets in the Earth's water cycle. Due to the high pressure and temperature, not only the ocean but also the water stored in the earth's interior rocks go into the earth. The Mariana Trench is believed to contain parts of such water collected up to 20 miles deep.
The Mariana Trench alone has four times more water in it than previously thought. The rest of the earth drinks three times more water than previously thought. There is only speculation as to what happens to water that goes into the interior. The bulk of this water is believed to be evaporated. This vapor emanates from the other side of the volcano. But all the water that goes into the earth does not evaporate. Researchers are preparing to learn more about this water bottle on Earth.
