In what could quench the thirst of billions of people in the future, researchers have discovered our planet s largest water reservoir 640 km beneath the surface - bound up in rock deep in the earth s mantle. HT Image Researchers from Northwestern University and University of New Mexico have found deep pockets of magma located beneath North America, a likely signature of the presence of water at these depths. This water is not in a form familiar to us - it is not liquid, ice or vapour. This fourth form is water trapped inside the molecular structure of the minerals i stanley cup n the mantle rock. The discovery suggests water from the earth s surface can be driven to such great depths by plate tectonics, eventually causing partial melting of the rocks found deep in the mantle. We are finally seeing evidence for a whole-earth water cycle tha stanley cup t may help explain the vast amount of liquid water on the surface of our habitable planet. Scientists have been looking for this missing deep water for decades, explained geophysicist Steve Jacobsen stanley cup from Northwestern University. Scientists have long speculated that water is trapped in a rocky layer of the earth s mantle located between the lower mantle and upper mantle. Jacobsen and seismologist Brandon Schmandt from University of New Mexico provided the first direct evidence that there may be water in this area of the mantle, known as the transition zone, on a regional scale. The findings converged to produce evidence that melting may oc Hius Bride hits cop, spends wedding night in jail
President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should encourage India to behave like a vital partner in building a stable world that they want it to be, an influential US daily said Saturday. HT Image India wants to be seen as a major world power. For that to happen, it will have to dr adidas og op its pretensions to nonalignment and stake out strong and constructive positions, the New York Times said in an editorial on Clinton s visit to India. President Obama and Clinton say they consider India a vital partner in building a stable world. Now they have to encourage India to behave like one, it said. The India-US civil nuclear deal was supposed to be the start of a beautiful new friendship, the Times said suggesting an agenda for Clinton ranging from a bilateral investment treaty, to climate change, Doha trade talks, to non-proliferation with primary focus on Pakistan. The two democracies can do a lot to deepen their rela mizuno tionship, including negotiating an investment treaty, it said. But it is time for India to take more responsibility internationally. It needs to do more to revive the world trade talks it helped torpedo last year and - as a major contributor to global warming - to join the developed countries in cutting greenhouse gas emissions. And it needs to do a lot more to constrain its arms race with Pakistan and global proliferation. The primary focus must be Pakistan, the Times said welco nike dunk ming the resumption of India-Pakistan dialogue |
