Researchers at Northwestern University have found evidence for a massive reservoir of water deep within the Earth's mantle. The reservoir, which is said to be three times the volume of the oceans on the surface, is contained within highly-pressurized rock known as ringwoodite. The scientists hope that their findings, recently published in the journal Science, can shed light on where Earth's oceans came from.
THREE TIMES THE VOLUME OF THE OCEANS ON EARTH'S SURFACE
The team, led by mineralogist Steven Jacobsen, used an array of 2000 seismometers to study how seismic waves generated by earthquakes move through the Earth's interior. The waves' speed changed depending on the type of rock they pass through, and wet ringwoodite has a particular effect on wave velocity. Jacobsen was able to reproduce

It’s not water, it’s steam. Al Gore said the temperature was millions of degrees down there.
And God separated the waters from the waters.
...and a mist went forth from the earth to water the plants....
...and the fountains of the deep broke open...
People are going to find out one way or another the thing they ae joking about being some redneck baptist fairy tale, is real. They aren’t going to be laughing then. And they could all be spared that moment but they are too arrogant and prideful and hard-hearted towards God.
wait till George Noory’s WACKO TO WACKO AM radio show get a hold of this one. Now those underground people will be part of the SUBMARINE PEOPLE CARTOON disclosures.
alternate radio and Obama ///// whew???!!!
So far, that's the only sane comment on this thread ...
From the article: “The reservoir, which is said to be three times the volume of the oceans on the surface, is contained within highly-pressurized rock known as ringwoodite.” So it’s not “an ocean” but contained within rock. Ironically enough, volcanic magma depends on water for its molten state. That’s why so many volcanos are found adjacent to plate subduction zones. I agree it seems counterintuitive but matter and materials behave differently under great heat and pressure than they do on the surface. The granite you may have in your kitchen sink requires water to form and the speed of cooling determines the size of the included crystals. “Water, water everywhere and not a drop to spare.”
It’s chemically-bound water in solid form in a substance called Ringwoodite. It doesn’t pour or flow like water.
Well that explains that ;)
How do we know you’re not the insane one on this thread? ... :-) ...
Every day we learn that the Bible is not just a story.
Was thinking along the same lines myself.
I wouldn’t attribute that to Noah’s Flood. This “water” doesn’t gush or flow. I believe Noah’s flood and the fountains of the deep have been pretty well exhausted and used up. It’s all in the oceans now.

I’ve always hoped that the center of earth was hot chocolate. That would make the universe make sense.
Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged
You not to leave
Because I’d go berserk?
Well!
You left me anyhow and then
The days got worse and worse
And now you see I’ve gone
Completely out of my mind.
And
They’re coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They’re coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those
Nice young men in their clean white coats and
They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha!
You thought it was a joke
and so you laughed, you laughed,
when I had said that losing you
would make me flip my lid.
Right?
You know you laughed
I heard you laugh
You laughed, you laughed
and laughed and then you left but
Now you know I’m utterly mad
And
They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha,
They’re coming to take me away, ho-ho,
hee hee, haa haa
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket-weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away, ha-hahaha...
I cooked your food, I cleaned your house,
And this is how you pay me back for
All my kind, unselfish, loving deeds,
Hah?
Well you just wait, they’ll find you yet
And when they do they’ll put you in the ASPCA you mangey mutt!
And
They’re coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They’re coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those
Nice young men in their clean white coats and
They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha!
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket-weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away, ha-hahaha...
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see.....
