The German-Italian-American research team analyzed a rare diamond formed 660 meters below the Earth&#8217;s surface using techniques including Raman spectroscopy and FTIR spectrometry. The study confirmed something that for a long time was only a theory, namely that ocean water accompanies subducting slabs and thus enters the transition zone. This means that our planet&#8217;s water cycle includes the Earth&#8217;s interior.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-09-ocean-earth-hundreds-kilometers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">An ocean inside the Earth?
