Another layer within the Earth
English geologists detect a new layer within the Earth. This layer is located between the mantle and the nucleus, that is, around the union of the liquid metal of the interior of the planet with the rock, about 2,900 kilometers from the terrestrial surface.
This layer has been detected through seismic waves, and now geologists are proposing how to ‘use’ the layer. Yes, the detection of a new layer means they can use it. In short, they allow measuring the temperatures of the area and, more importantly, measuring the temperature changes that occur. With great precision.
According to the seismologists, the changes in temperature inside the mantle and the formation of earthquakes have a lot to do with. Therefore, the risk of earthquake is reflected in the temperature oscillations of the recently detected layer. And, of course, they can also investigate how heat is transmitted in the inner areas of the Earth by analyzing the new layer.
