Massive Ocean of Water Found Under Earths Surface
We think it’s awesome to contemplate the Days of Noah and to think about the firmament and the “great springs of the deep” that were broken and opened to flood the earth like never before. It hadn’t rained on earth until then. The entire earth was like a greenhouse of perfect temperature with the firmament blocking the suns direct rays and spreading heat and humidity all over the planet. This probably helps to explain why they find trees and forests in what is now called the Arctic and Antarctic regions. It’s possible that the earth tipped on its axis and land masses were buried forever while mountains shot into the sky. Maybe that helps to explain why sea creatures are found fossilized on mountains all over the world. Now today we read more evidence of what the Bible has said all along...the springs of the deep hold a massive amount of water...possibly as much as 3 times what the oceans hold!

It turns out there’s a huge supply of water 400 miles underground stored in rock known as 'ringwoodite'.
Scientists previously discovered that water is stored inside mantle rock in a sponge-like state, which isn’t a liquid, solid or a gas, but instead a fourth state.
The scientific paper titled ‘Dehydration melting at the top of the lower mantle’ was published in 2014 and laid out the findings.
"The ringwoodite is like a sponge, soaking up water, there is something very special about the crystal structure of ringwoodite that allows it to attract hydrogen and trap water," said geophysicist Steve Jacobsen at the time.
"This mineral can contain a lot of water under conditions of the deep mantle,” added Jacobsen, who was part of the team behind the discovery.
He added: "I think we are finally seeing evidence for a whole-Earth water cycle, which 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."
Scientists made the findings at the time after studying earthquakes and discovering that seismometers were picking up shockwaves under the surface of the Earth.
From that, they were able to establish that the water was being held in the rock known as ringwoodite.
If the rock contained just 1 per cent water, it would mean that there is three times more water under the surface of the Earth than there is in the oceans on the surface.
