Seismic imaging has revealed two colossal regions deep within Earth’s mantle that could reshape our understanding of the planet’s composition and history. These continent-sized anomalies, known as large low-velocity provinces (LLVPs), lie near the core, beneath Africa and the Pacific Ocean.

LLVPs are notable for their unusual makeup and their ability to slow seismic waves, making them mysterious features of Earth’s interior.

Their origins have long baffled geologists, but a groundbreaking study has introduced a bold hypothesis: these subterranean giants might be remnants of Theia, a lost planet that collided with Earth billions of years ago.

Oregon’s Cascade Range is not just a scenic landscape of volcanic peaks – it also hides a massive underground aquifer filled with water.

Scientists from the University of Oregon and their collaborators have mapped this extensive water storage beneath the central Oregon Cascades and found it to be at least 81 cubic kilometers in size.

This discovery is significant because it reveals a water resource nearly three times the capacity of Lake Mead and more than half the volume of Lake Tahoe, reshaping our understanding of regional water supplies and volcanic processes.
