Scientists identify water-trapping minerals 1,800 miles beneath Earth's surface

Deep-mantle water plays crucial role in planetary habitability and tectonics

Alfred Wilson, geoscientist at the University of Leeds, notes in accompanying commentary that this water is essential for lubricating the slow movement of Earth's mantle layers, enabling tectonic circulation and the recycling of volatile compounds. The water-bearing minerals may release their water as material is dragged upward through mantle circulation, potentially returning water to the surface through mantle plumes and volcanism.
