Massive ‘Lava Lamp’ Blobs Deep Inside Earth Have Scientists Puzzled

Have scientists confirmed the “Lake of Fire” or portions of Hell? Two continent-size blobs of hot — and possibly molten — rock can be found deep underground, about halfway to the center of the Earth, according to a new study. These curious structures — each of which is so large that it would be 100 times taller than Mount Everest — could be made up of materials that may shed light on how the Earth formed, the researchers said.

One of the blobs is located beneath the Pacific Ocean, and the other can be found beneath the Atlantic. These underground structures start where the Earth’s mantle meets the core, but they send “plumes” up through the rock like a Lava Lamp, the researchers said. FULL REPORT
