E Prime Layer
- Formation of a new layer, "E prime layer," has been discovered at the outermost part of Earth's core.
- It is a result of surface water penetrating deep into the planet, altering the composition of the metallic liquid core's outermost region.
- Earth comprises inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust; the E prime layer adds complexity to understanding internal mechanisms.
- Material exchange between the core and mantle were previously believed to be small; experiments reveal significant chemical changes when water reaches the core-mantle boundary.
- The discovery enhances comprehension of Earth's internal mechanisms and indicates a broader and more intricate global water cycle.
- It holds significant implications ....
