There are still many scientists who do not know about outer space. However, every new discovery makes them closer to discovering many of his secrets. From a Supernova Cemetery at the bottom of the ocean Help the researchers understand how the universe became A newly released vehicle photo of NASA for Hurricane Kony Due to the formation of stars, scientists have made a lot of progress in exploring space and research.
While many discoveries provide answers about what exceeds our planet, others give scientists more context on the long history of the Earth. For example, in March, Scientists tied the hot springs in the Yellowston National Park for a moment when life began on the ground. Scientists have also discovered The approximate land mass from September 13th lbs.
In addition, the discovery of two deep “giant points” on the ground sparked discussions between experts about how and why they were formed. Fortunately, new research may solve this puzzle. Here are what researchers say.

During the 1980s, scientists identified two huge beams buried under the Earth’s crust. These strange configurations, which are often called “points” or “large -cut speed clips”, are made of hot and dense materials and are placed between the scarf and the outer pulp.
“The Earth’s mantle is rocky, but it is not like solid rocks. It is this high -pressure magma that is a type of viscosity and the viscosity of peanut butter, and it sits mainly on a very hot stove,” Dr. Steve de saidProfessor of astronomical physics at Arizona State School for Exploration and Space.
The largest, under the Pacific and Africa, was mentioned in A. 2016 Geophysical Journal Since then, it has sparked a discussion among scientists on how they were formed. In 2020, The researchers used 30 years of earthquake data To study how seismic waves moved across the cloak of the earth. They found structures, or high -speed areas, along the LLSVP perimeter.
Previously, it was believed that the points constituted 10 % of the mantle of the earth, but the discovery of the high -speed areas, or areas of the scarf with low seismic speed, indicating that they are much larger than previously thought.

Scientists have reached many theories on how to form “giant points”
Several theories have been written in scientific journals
Over the years, the scientists have reached several theories to explain how giant points appeared and what is its purpose.
Some researchers believe that since the speed of seismic waves near the points are slower than the other parts of the scarf, they may affect the magnetic field of the Earth because of its important role in removing heat from the heart. However, this theory does not answer a question about how giant points are.
Other scientists, according to An article published in natureWe believe that the points consist of subsequent debris from when Thaia, an old planetHe collided with the Earth and formed the moon billions of years ago.

Another theory is that the points that were formed when the tectonic ground panels of the Earth turned, causing a dense oceanic peel into a mantle over billions of years.

Perhaps a new study has finally solved a mystery How giant points were depth inside the ground. While previous theories focused on the old debris of space and Earth’s formation, the latest information provides another option.
According to James Panton, a dynamic scientist at Cardiff University in the United Kingdom, giant points may have been formed through the recycling of the oceanic crust over time, for each paper published in nature. Panton and his team have used computer modeling to restore the spread, or tectonic plates that have turned alongside the scarf, over the past billion years.
Pantone says the team concluded that this oceanic recycling process is sufficient to create LLSVPS the size of the continent like those below the Pacific and Africa.
“We have found that the recycling of the peripheral cortex can already generate these LLVP -like areas under the Pacific and Africa without the need for an initial dense layer at the base of the scarf. It is developing itself, simply through the process of withdrawing from the oceanic crust,” Pantone told direct sciences.
Moving forward, Panton and his team are planning to increase the study of the role of the scarf columns, or hot areas in the mantle of the earth, in dividing the peripheral cortex because it relates to points.
