re: Is there another ocean in Earth's mantle?

Would be cool if there are diamonds that big. Would totally screw DeBeers over.

There's a lot going on down there that science is just beginning to grasp. Do you follow Hollow Earth Theory? If not check it out, that cleared up a lot of problems I've always had with the Earth's core.
Can the Earth be hollow if it's flat? How thin is the Earth anyway? Is it like a paper with mountains on top?

The deepest drilled is only seven miles. Only half way through the crust, not even to the mantle. Yet at that depth the temperature was 360° and drilling stopped
Not real sure about any of this but if we think there is even a possibility that the center of the Earth is a liquid under enormous pressure then maybe WE SHOULDN’T BE DRILLING HOLES IN THAT shite. You ever seen an oil blow out? How about we don’t do that with the center of the Earth? OK science guys?

Absolutely. Don’t think of a flat earth like a pancake but more like an iceberg. We only see the top but there’s a lot going on down there. Again, I’m not sold on any of this I’m just keeping an open mind since the arguments on both sides are so compelling.

Considering the earth is constantly spinning, theoretically, the heaviest metals would be located at the inner core and the lightest substances would be found in the crust. Therefore, it’s unlikely water would be found in the mantle. Side note: since gold is one of the heaviest metals on earth, I think the majority of it is found at or near the inner core.

Why? The mantle isn't the core.

Nice job using the ideal gas equation to describe a liquid.
Posted on 7/30/18 at 6:59 pm to Rouge
Ideal gas dynamics don’t even hold for gasses under super high pressures, much less liquids brah

Next step, drilling to prove the hypothesis, which results in a blowout that floods the earth.

Won't be too many decades from now that California will need to tap into that ocean.

Its God's back up plan when the next heavy meteor misses.

You kidding? There's probably hundreds of activists ready to protest the second anyone even thinks of extensively exploring jt.

This is my main problem with Superman. He couldnt save lane by spinning the earth backwards. The water on the planet would have swished one direction as earth slowed flooding the peoples
Then as he started it up again he would have flooded the other peoples. Sad!

I have heard that they have mountains in the Pacific ocean that are taller than Everest......

Rock can average a pressure gradient of 1 psi/ft so that’s 40,000 psi 8 miles deep. 42,000 psi/14.7 psi/atm equals 2873 atm. Average temp gradient is 1 degree per 100 ft. That’s 400 degrees plus surface temp so an extra 100 degrees now. Convert 500 F to 260 C. So that’s 2873 atm. 260 C at 8 miles deep. Thanks petroleum engineering department at LSU. 1 bar equals 1 atm. So check out graph and see where that point lies and it is a liquid

not likely
because PV=nRT
pressure would likely be so high that temps would exceed water's boiling point
interesting question if you consider a volume of ocean
Melt

Ha.
The fricktards in SF ruined one of the country's most beautiful valleys when they created the Hetch Hetchy reservoir in Yosemite NP.
It's OK to ruin the environment, if your own city needs something.
