Earth’s deep interior may hold water equal to today’s oceans, challenging long-held views of how the planet became habitable.

Earth’s deep interior still shapes the world above your feet. Water trapped far below the surface helps control how rocks move, melt, and recycle through the mantle. Some of that water carries a ...

(a)The phase boundary between stishovite and post-stishovite with the varying Al content. The contour represents the phase boundary of stishovite with different Al content and the H/Al ratio of ~1/3.

Some 4.6 billion years ago, Earth was nothing like the gentle blue planet we know today. Frequent and violent celestial impacts churned its surface and interior into a seething ocean of magma—an ...

The findings, published in the academic journal Science on Friday, reshape human understanding of how water is stored and ...
