Cosmic Librarian<p>Mysterious Submerged ‘Lost World’ Discovered Beneath the Pacific Ocean Stumps Scientists</p><p>An international team of geophysicists using a new imaging technique that measures the speed of seismic waves caused by earthquakes to locate the juncture of tectonic plates in the Earth’s mantle say they have discovered the remnants of what appears to be a “lost world” beneath the Pacific Ocean.</p><p>Previous methods to locate these junctures between tectonic plates have always found them where scientists expected them to be. However, this latest joint effort by geophysicists from ETH Zurich and the California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech) found indications of these zones at locations that display no indications of tectonic plates or other recent tectonic activity.</p><p>According to a statement from the researchers, these findings have left them asking, “Is there a lost world beneath the Pacific Ocean?”</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/lostworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lostworld</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Pacific" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pacific</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/CalTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CalTech</span></a></p><p><a href="https://thedebrief.org/mysterious-submerged-lost-world-discovered-beneath-the-pacific-ocean-stumps-scientists/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thedebrief.org/mysterious-subm</span><span class="invisible">erged-lost-world-discovered-beneath-the-pacific-ocean-stumps-scientists/</span></a></p>
