The Earth's Mantle is Melting?

New Data Confirms the Earth's Mantle is Melting by Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media A team of geophysicists has just verified that the partial fusion of the mantle is possible in this area when the temperature reaches 4200 Kelvin's. This reinforces the hypothesis of the presence of a deep magma ocean. It may also suggest new scientific findings could be related to the process of the Earth's magnetic pole shift. The originality of this work, carried out by the scientists of the Institut de minéralogie et de physique des milieux condensés (UPMC/Université Paris Diderot/Institut de Physique du Globe/CNRS/IRD), lies in the use of X-ray diffraction at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The results will have an effect in the understanding of the dynamics, composition and the formation of the depths of our planet.   The seismologists who have studied this subject have acknowledged an abrupt reduction of the speed of the seismic waves, which sometimes reach 30% when getting close to this border. This fact has led scientists to formulate the hypothesis, for the last 15 years, of the partial melting of the Earth mantle at the level of this mantle-core border. Today it has been confirmed.   The Earth's mantle and its core mix at a distance of 2900 km under our feet in a mysterious zone. On top of the core of the Earth, constituted of liquid iron, lies the solid mantle, which is made up essentially of magnesium oxides, iron and silicon. The border between the core and the mantle, located at 2900 km under our feet, is highly intriguing to geophysicists. With a pressure of around 1.4 million times the atmospheric pressure and a temperature of more than 4000 Kelvin's, this zone is the home to chemical reactions and changes in states of matter still unknown.   *The Kelvin (symbol: K) is a unit increment of temperatureand is one of the seven SI base units. The Kelvin scale is a thermodynamic (absolute) temperature scale referenced to absolute zero, the absence of all thermal energy. So by definition, the temperature of a substance at absolute zero is zero kelvin (0 K). The secondary reference point on the Kelvin scale is the triple point of water (0.01 degrees Celsius). The Kelvin scale is the difference between these two reference points, with the Kelvin defined as one 273.16th of this scale. The Kelvin scale and the kelvin are named after the Belfast-born physicist and engineer William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin (1824-1907), who wrote of the need for an "absolute thermometric scale". In order to access the depths of the Earth, scientists have not only seismological images but also a precious experimental technique: diamond anvil cells, coupled with a heating layer. This instrument allows to re-create the same pressure and temperature condition than those in the interior of the Earth, on samples of a few microns. This is the technique used by the researchers of the Institut de minéralogie et de physique des milieux condensés on natural samples that are representatives of the Earth mantle and that have been put under pressures of more than 140 gigapascals (or 1.4 million times the atmospheric pressure), and temperatures of more than 5000 Kelvin's.   A new approach to this study has been the use of the X-ray diffraction technique at the European synchrotron ESRF. This has allowed scientists to determine what mineral phases melt first, and they have also established, without extrapolation, fusion curves of the deep Earth mantle, i.e. the characterization of the passage from a solid state to a partially liquid state. Their observations show that the partial fusion of the mantle is possible when the temperature approaches 4200 Kelvin's These experiments also prove that the liquid produced during this partial fusion is dense and that it can hold multiple chemical elements, among which are important markers of the dynamics of the Earth mantle. These studies will allow geophysicists and geochemists to achieve a deeper knowledge of the mechanisms of differentiation of the Earth and the history of its formation, which started around 4.5 billion years ago. Mitch Battros Research of the Sun - Earth Connection and 2012 Mitch Battros presents fascinating, and sometimes shocking, research from the world's top scientists. After years of dialogue with these experts, Mitch has been accepted into the guarded halls of NASA, NOAA, ESA, Royal Observatory, the US Naval Observatory and other highly esteemed scientific bodies. In addition to the latest research on the Sun's influence on our "weather", Mitch also presents ground-breaking evidence of how the Sun and other celestial orbs produce 'charged particles' and their impact on humanity.   Just as the Sun's solar activity affects the Earth's magnetic field which has a dramatic affect on Earth's "weather" i.e. earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, hurricanes; so does this wave of electrical currents affect the human body's magnetic field. Mitch also reveals a little-known development from modern medicine known as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). TMS provides empirical evidence of how magnetic fields can influence human emotions.   Solar Cycle 24 has begun - and it has been predicted by NASA, NOAA and ESA to be up to 50% stronger than its 'record breaking' predecessor Cycle 23 which produced the largest solar flare ever recorded. The Sun will reach its 'apex' (maximum) in late 2011 into 2012. "I believe it will be the magnetic influence produced by the Sun which will usher in what is described by our ancient ancestors as "the transition" bringing us to a new state-of-being". (Mitch Battros) ENDORSEMENTS: http://earthchangesmedia.com/Solar_Rain_Endorsements01.htm ORDER BOOKS HERE: https://www.solarrainbook.com/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?product=Books&pid=1 Do you eat food?     Sundance Global - Saving one family at a time. heavenlyhands.mysundanceglobal.com   15 Year shelf life __________________________________________________________________  BE PREPARED FOR ANY DISASTER Grow your own vegetables anywhere.      Click here: Easy Victory Garden
