In the 21st century, American researchers from the University of Washington once again shocked the world scientific community. As they said, not only is the Mariana Trench the deepest place on our planet, but at the same time it is a giant funnel into which the water of the world's oceans flows. Such is a kind of drain hole. Moreover, water flows there in hundreds of thousands of cubic kilometers. Modern scientists were able to understand that the so-called Mariana Trench, or, as it is also commonly called, the Mariana Trench, occurred as a result of the vigorous activity of tectonic plates in this region. At that moment, one plate ran over another. These plates are called Pacific and Filipino. And this funnel in the Mariana Trench leads exactly to the point where these two plates met. Moreover, it would seemthe presence of such a specific leak for modern scientists seems to be a secret or a secret. Science knows a couple of similar leaks that are found in subduction zones. But scientists are frightened by the huge volumes of water leaking there - they are simply colossal.
Researchers made several measurements of this area using seismic equipment. Results. Obtained by them during measurements and analysis, they were simply amazed. They realized that seismic waves are still active here, and at a very great depth they are slowed down by layers that are saturated with this water flowing there. Moreover, it turned out that much more water flows out there than even the most daring scientists could have imagined - in 5 times more theoretical calculations. It is not yet clear how long water has been leaking there, and how this could threaten our planet. Some researchers believe that this drain hole in the Mariana Trench is more than one million years old. Someone thinks that in a million years, three billion teragrams of ocean water flows through such a hole in our planet into the bowels of the Earth. And, as you know, terragrams are a million tons. Therefore,if all this is translated into cubic kilometers, then you get a very large figure. Moreover, some of the scientists believe that, in fact, there may be more than one such funnels on our planet.
There remains only one question - where does all the water that flows through this funnel get to? Some of the researchers suggested that it fills underground reservoirs. After all, quite a long time ago, back in the USSR, they proved that under all the continents known on the planet there are huge underground reservoirs of water, where water, according to the most conservative estimates of scientists, is ten times more than on the surface of the Earth in the world's oceans. The largest such underground reservoirs are located under the continents of Eurasia and North America. How did scientists manage to find these reservoirs, because they are located very deep underground? And everything is simple - they took measurements with seismic equipment and realized that in these areas the signal of the equipment simply disappears, which means that the radio wave simply met a huge amount of water. American scientists even tried to make a 3D model of these underground reservoirs. Most of all, researchers are concerned about the question, can there be such a situation that this water decides to come to the surface of the planet?
After all, everyone remembers the Great Flood described in the Bible. So, maybe the water did not come from the sky, but came out from under the Earth? This scenario of the development of events seems much more realistic. Moreover, in the Bible there is a mention of a certain underground abyss that opened up. In our time, more and more researchers agree that the Flood actually took place, and far from just once. Indeed, on the territories of all continents, archaeologists almost every year find traces of huge mudflows and river sediments, under which the ruins of very ancient cities open. It remains only to understand how such a huge amount of water could appear on our planet? By the way, it should be noted that scientists believe that all the water in the underground reservoirs of our planet is fresh. Some researchers believe that there is no timein the very distant past, our planet was much larger and there was much more water on its surface. But, perhaps, some cosmic body fell to the Earth, as a result of which a crack formed in the Earth, where most of the water of our planet flowed away.
