Mysterious giant structures discovered on Mars

Large and compact formations have been uncovered on the surface of Mars, piquing the interest of specialists.

Researchers have recently validated the existence of a massive subsurface structure that is about 1,750 kilometers in diameter and lies approximately 1,100 kilometers below the Earth's surface.

These research outcomes may question core principles in geology.

"There appears to be a substantial entity (comprising lightweight material) located deeply within Mars' internal strata, which may be emerging from the mantle," the authors stated in their study published in the journal JGR: Planets.

"It indicates that there could still be active movements happening beneath Mars, leading to the formation of new volcanic features on its surface," they added.

The given style of response suggests that the original text is in a non-English language, as the "QG" acronym is likely shorthand for "Quelle ou Gazette" (Source or Newspaper) in French, which is the language of the Indy100 (Indépendant 100) news website. However, since I haven't received the original text, I'll wait for it to be provided before proceeding with the paraphrase.

Underground anomalies discovered for the first time leave scientists baffled

A team of geophysicists from ETH Zurich and Caltech found anomalies in the Earth's lower mantle, revealing previously unknown rocky areas, as reported by Phys.

To uncover these discoveries, researchers utilized a new, high-resolution model of the Earth's mantle. The results revealed regions of submerged rocky terrain beneath significant oceans, as well as within the interiors of continents.

"It appears that these zones in the Earth's mantle are significantly more extensive than previously understood," stated Thomas Schouten, lead author and doctoral researcher at ETH Zurich's Geological Institute.

The origins of these geological peculiarities are not yet understood.

"They could be remnants from the ancient silica-rich rocks that have been present since the Earth's mantle formed approximately 4 billion years ago, miraculously remaining intact despite the ongoing convective movements within the mantle. Another possibility is that they are areas where iron-rich rocks have accumulated as a result of the mantle's slow, steady movement over an equally vast timescale," Thomas Schouten suggested.
