And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.—Genesis 1:7

Interesting post. Thanks.

I would not be suprised. Most of the worlds major earthquake activity is along subduction zones.

not what I was looking for, but nonetheless...

One of the most dramatic features in the Wysession et. al global mantle shear-wave attenuation model is a very high-attenuation anomaly at the top of the lower mantle beneath eastern Asia. This anomaly is believed due to water that has been pumped into the lower mantle via the long history of the subduction of oceanic lithosphere — crust and upper mantle — in this region. The left figure is a slice through the earth, showing the attenuation anomalies within the mantle. The location of the slice — red line in the upper right figure — is a map of the seismic attenuation at a depth of roughly 620 miles. In both images, red shows unusually soft and weak rock, and blue shows unusually stiff rock (yellow and white show near-average values). The two figures in the lower right are resolution tests to see if the data have the resolution to retrieve Earth structure in these parts of the Earth. The sharper the black-white transitions are, the better the resolution is. (Image Credit: Eric Chou)

Kinda hard to swallow.

I mean, it’s HOT down there - REAL HOT!

And even if subduction zones are cooler, hey, 900 degrees is cooler than 1000 degrees. But still way, way too hot for liquid water!

ScienceDaily (May 11, 2006) — Scientists at The University of Manchester have uncovered the first evidence of seawater deep inside the Earth shedding new light on the fate of the planet’s oceans, according to research published in Nature (May 11, 2006).

Earth could hold more water
Five times as much water as in all the world’s oceans may lurk deep below its surface.
