3. Water covers up to 70 percent of our Earth’s surface, but
also a huge amount of water lies inside our planet.
According to researcher Harry Coumnas, there might be
vast quantities of water beneath the earth’s surface. He also
says that this under massive amount of Earth water is the
cause of geodynamic activities, which cause volcanoes that
in turn help in generating soil and sustain life on earth.
4. Harry Coumnas says that the water will be found much
deeper than previously estimated, although the amount of
water lying under is still unknown. While talking to a news
channel about his research, he said “I didn’t know that
hydrous minerals could effectively store water inside. But
now it is proven that water is there and now my only goal is
to find that amount of water.
5. This underlying water helps in mantle convection through
which solid rocks move from hot to cold regions over
geological time frames. This water into the mantle promotes
melting and weakens rocks. It acts like grease that helps in
motion of the plates.”
6. It is believed that around 620 miles water is present below
the surface that could constitute 1.5% of the weight of the
earth. Harry Coumnas and his team made this astonishing
discovery with the help of quantum mechanical calculations
that helped define different structures for the hydrous
minerals in the earth’s deep environment.
