Scientists probe mysterious "hole" in Earth's Surface
Scientists probe mysterious "hole" in Earth's Surface
Dr Chris MacLeod, from Cardiff University, said the Earth's crust appeared to be completely missing in an area thousands of kilometres across. He said it was an "open wound on the surface of the Earth", where the oceanic crust, usually 6-7km thick (3.7-4.3 miles), was simply not there. picked by Browntrout 3 years ago

That is insane! The neatest thing I've read in a while, thanks for the post, Browntrout!

If it really is a hole, that has change our understanding of plate tectonics - it's still a baby theory, as it only came into acceptance in the early 70's.

[wonder how the geochemists feel about seawater meeting the mantle...]
