The mystery of the ancient planet Theia lies deep within the Earth

Jakarta –

Many scientists agree that the Moon formed when a protoplanet called Teiaaccident Land which is still in the early stages of formation, about 4.5 billion years ago. Now a team of scientists has put forward a new theory that Theia’s remains can still be found under the Earth.

The material that was once the planet Theia can be found in the rock layers buried deep in the Earth’s mantle. Because?

Quoted detikINET by Science Mag, seismologists have long been baffled by the existence of two large and mysterious masses of rock beneath the earth’s surface. One under Africa and one under the Pacific Ocean. They are called Large Low Shear Rate Provinces (LLSVP).

The blob is considered an anomaly, with a height of up to a thousand kilometers and a width wider than that, and close to the Earth’s core. “They are the greatest things in the Earth’s mantle,” said Qian Yuan, a Ph. Planet Teia some time ago.

The material is also denser and chemically different from the surrounding rock. Then came the theory that the blob was not native to this planet. Furthermore, the chemicals associated with the blob are likely as old as planet Theia.

The layer of planet Theia itself is thought to be denser than Earth, so it may have accumulated near the Earth’s core after the collision. “This causes Theia’s mantle material to sink into the Earth’s lower mantle and build up,” Qian said.

Theory on Planet Teia which is called crazy enough, cannot be proven because it is very difficult to examine the foundations of the Earth in detail. However, according to Qian, the possibility that the theory is true cannot be ruled out.
