Earth scientists therefore call these regions ... where the tones sounded very soft. "Unlike the upper mantle, where we found exactly what we expected: it is hot, and the waves are damped.

Over 25 years ago, researchers discovered that some of these deep Earth reverberations pointed to the existence of two underground “super-continents” hundreds of miles beneath Africa and the Pacific ...
