Beneath Turkey, Earth’s crust is dripping into the mantle in a rare event called lithospheric dripping—hinting at a slow, internal planetary collapse that could change geology forever.

Seismic imaging has exposed two massive zones hidden deep in Earth’s mantle. These giant blobs, known as large low-velocity provinces, or LLVPs, stretch beneath Africa and the Pacific.

Researchers have discovered that the underside of the North American continent is dripping away in blobs of rock—and that the remnants of a tectonic plate sinking in Earth's mantle may be the ...

The two giant blobs — one beneath the Pacific Ocean and one beneath Africa — lie at the boundary between Earth's mantle and its outer core, some 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometers) beneath the surface.

TOI Trending Desk / etimes.in / Jan 20, 2025, 08:56 IST Scientists have identified mysterious blobs of Earth's ancient crust, or 'sunken worlds,' deep within the mantle using seismographic imaging.

There are other potential explanations for the newly mapped blobs. For example, they may be made of crust-like material left over from the mantle's creation 4 billion years ago.

Deep within our planet, two gargantuan, continent-size blobs of sizzling material rise from Earth’s hot, liquid outer core into its rock-filled mantle layer.
