Scientists Create First Three-dimensional Global Map of Electrical Conductivity in Earth's Mantle
As tags on household appliances warn, water conducts electricity extremely well. Now, scientists have found that enhanced electrical conductivity in parts of Earth's mantle may signal the presence of water far below our planet's surface.
The researchers created the first global three-dimensional map of electrical conductivity in the mantle. Results of their study are published this week in the journal Nature.
The areas of high conductivity coincide with subduction ...
