There's an Ocean Deep Inside the Earth
... the chemical makeup of a tiny, extremely rare gemstone has made researchers think there's a massive water reservoir hundreds of miles under the earth.

The gemstone in question is called ringwoodite, which is created when olivine, a material that is extremely common in the mantle, is highly pressurized; when it’s exposed to less pressurized environments, it reverts into olivine. It has previously been seen in meteorites and created in a laboratory, but until now it had never been found in a sample of the earth’s mantle.

Diamond expert Graham Pearson of the University of Alberta came across a seemingly worthless, three-millimeter piece of brown diamond that had been found in Mato Grosso, Brazil, while he was researching another type of mineral. Within that diamond, he and his team found ringwoodite—and they found that roughly 1.5 percent of the ringwoodite’s weight was made up of trapped water. The findings are published in Nature.

That water had to get in there somehow, and using analyses of its depth and its water makeup, Pearson suggests that there's water deep under the earth's surface—a lot of it.... more at link.

Re: There's an Ocean Deep Inside the Earth
And yet once again, science discovers what the bible already told us...

Gen 7:11

When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the underground waters erupted from the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky.

It also states the waters of heaven were opened up.

Remember that video form NASA showing the broken tether and all the "ufos" that swarmed around it? It made me think of white blood cells rushing through the blood to get to an attacking virus. This is crazy sounding I know, but I am wondering if space is actually a liquid and those "ufos" were living cells of some kind swimming in it. All you have to do is watch their movement, like something moving through liquid.

Linda Howe asked an Air Force person once what was going on "out there". He looked at her and replied, you don't want to know. To me he was stating that what is "out there" is so weird, so different that no one here would ever want to know. What if deep space is actually liquid and not "space"?

Nice to see that pop up again :D

I have posted on OLIVINE before on this thread :



Olivine and high pressure structural variants constitute over 50% of the Earth's upper mantle, and olivine is one of the Earth's most common minerals by volume.

Mg-rich olivine is stable to pressures equivalent to a depth of about 410 km within Earth. Because it is thought to be the most abundant mineral in Earth’s mantle at shallower depths, the properties of olivine have a dominant influence upon the rheology of that part of Earth and hence upon the solid flow that drives plate tectonics. Experiments have documented that olivine at high pressures (e.g. 12 GPa, the pressure at depths of about 360 kilometers) can contain at least as much as about 8900 parts per million (weight) of water, and that such water contents drastically reduce the resistance of olivine to solid flow; moreover, because olivine is so abundant, more water may be dissolved in olivine of the mantle than contained in Earth's oceans.


410 km / 360 km ... remember or try to think about THIS when reading articles about DEEP DRILLING [deeper then 400 km] like they are doing recently ...
Something tells me this is VERY important !!!! [for us to consider in the back of our heads and when researching WATER]



RE-POST
Thread: Something Just Went BEZERK in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Navy just sunk a French Submarine (Page 1520)

Just something that I saw in a vid and science paper kept my mind boggling ...

It was found out that WATER on Earth has its origin from a gem called OLIVINE !!!

[link to en.wikipedia.org]
Olivine is named for its typically olive-green color (thought to be a result of traces of nickel), though it may alter to a reddish color from the oxidation of iron.

That last bolded part is exactly what happened on MARS !!! Why Mars is RED !

Original 3 planets were populated with LIFE, Maldek [now the Hammered Belt, asteroid ring between Mars and Jupiter], Mars and Earth.
It is MY conclusion that not only Earth was created out of OLIVINE, but also the 2 others !!!
When Maldek was destroyed, gravitational forces made Mars leave the Goldilocks-zone and altered the color of OLIVINE from A GREEN PLANET to a RED PLANET ... leaving the protective goldilocks-zone diminished the atmosphere and oxidised the olivine !


Lol lateron in the wiki-page this is confirmed:
Olivine is one of the weaker common minerals on the surface according to the Goldich dissolution series. It weathers to iddingsite (a combination of clay minerals, iron oxides and ferrihydrites) readily in the presence of water. The presence of iddingsite on Mars would suggest that liquid water once existed there, and might enable scientists to determine when there was last liquid water on the planet.

When olivine is crushed, it weathers completely within a few years, depending on the grain size.


Okay, interesting ... coz in the theory that I follow Mars had been undergoing the destruction-blast from blow-up Maldek, and when it was pulled out of the Goldylocks-zone it was again "crushed" by the forces of SPACE outside this G-zone !
{** side-note; funny that the ultimate pleasure spot of a woman is also called G-spot hahahaha ... the Goldylocks-zone of a woman ...hahaha... pleasure/fertility zone ;) **}

Mars its atmosphere was crushed, its oceans were crushed and its olivine was crushed !!!!
LIFE/civilisation could not flourish any more on its surface ... and it oxidated, and turned red over the years ...



Typical that the Greek refered to it in relation to gold :
Translucent olivine is sometimes used as a gemstone called peridot (péridot, the French word for olivine). It is also called chrysolite (or chrysolithe, from the Greek words for gold and stone).
Olivine/peridot occurs in both mafic and ultramafic igneous rocks and as a primary mineral in certain metamorphic rocks. Mg-rich olivine crystallizes from magma that is rich in magnesium and low in silica. That magma crystallizes to mafic rocks such as gabbro [link to en.wikipedia.org] (olivine gabbro when olivine is present in a large amount) (The vast majority of the Earth's surface is underlain by gabbro within the oceanic crust, produced by basalt magmatism at mid-ocean ridges)
and basalt.

Primary mineral ... magma ... basalt ...


Olivine and high pressure structural variants constitute over 50% of the Earth's upper mantle, and olivine is one of the Earth's most common minerals by volume.

Mg-rich olivine is stable to pressures equivalent to a depth of about 410 km within Earth.

Mg-rich olivine has also been discovered in meteorites, the Moon, Mars, in the dust of comet Wild 2, within the core of comet Tempel 1, falling into infant stars, as well as on asteroid 25143 Itokawa.

The spectral signature of olivine has been seen in the dust disks around young stars. The tails of comets (which formed from the dust disk around the young Sun) often have the spectral signature of olivine, and the presence of olivine has recently been verified in samples of a comet from the Stardust spacecraft.[11] Comet-like (magnesium-rich) olivine has also been detected in the planetesimal belt around the star Beta Pictoris.[12]


Would be "neat" to do some more research on these BODY'S ...lol...



At the high temperatures and pressures found at depth within the Earth the olivine structure is no longer stable. Below depths of about 410 km (250 mi) olivine undergoes an exothermic phase transition to the sorosilicate, wadsleyite and, at about 520 km (320 mi) depth, wadsleyite transforms exothermically into ringwoodite,

ringwoodite damned ----> 6 stringwoody scratching



All the CO2 that is produced by burning 1 liter of oil can be sequestered by less than 1 liter of olivine. The reaction is exothermic but slow. To recover the heat produced by the reaction to produce electricity, a large volume of olivine must be thermally well-isolated. The end-products of the reaction are silicon dioxide, magnesium carbonate and small amounts of iron oxide.

WTF !!!!

OLIVINE & SALT

[link to www.onemine.org]
OLIVINE is considered a valuable potential source of metallic magnesium in the chloride electrolytic process. Treatment of olivine with hydrochloric acid can be carried out under conditions that prevent the formation of gelatinous silicic acid, which would inhibit the reaction by forming a covering around the ore particles. It is our hypothesis that the formation of gelatinous silicic acid is avoided by the dehydrating action of the magnesium chloride, which takes up water to form a series of hydrates and leaves the silicic acid in granular condition. Leaching serves to separate the magnesium chloride from the silicic acid and unattacked ore, which can be treated with fresh acid in successive steps until extraction is essentially complete. The leach solution can be purified by the addition of caustic magnesia and the precipitated impurities removed by decantation or filtration. The resulting magnesium chloride contains: Fe, less than 0.001 per cent; Mn, 0.012 per cent; Ni, none. Chlorination[f] of olivine has two major defects: (1) a large part of the chlorine goes to form silicon and iron chlorides, (2) the anhydrous magnesium chloride is held by absorption in the finely divided silica. SUPPLY It is well known that olivine, a silicate of magnesium and iron, is present in large amounts in several localities in the United States. The largest deposits occur in the southeast and on the Pacific Coast.1 The southeastern deposits were surveyed by Lewis2 in 1896 and by Hunter3 in the period 1933-1940. It is estimated that high-grade olivine, conveniently located with regard to transportation and power, is present in excess of 230 million tons above local drainage level in western North Carolina and north Georgia. PREVIOUS TECHNICAL WORK In the past few years, olivine has attracted considerable attention in the refractory field. In the chemical processing industry, however, it has long been thought axiomatic that the cost of processing silicates is an economic barrier to their utilization, especially where more reactive minerals, such as carbonates, oxides or salts, are available. This attitude is not entirely justified in connection with olivine. Unlike most silicates, olivine is readily attacked by acids, chlorine and other reagents without resorting to fusion to break down the silicate structure. Olivine has been suggested as a raw material for making epsom salt by roasting with pyrites.4 Other processes include acid treatment5 and digestion with calcium chloride.6 Recently a small plant was built near Webster, N. C., for making epsom salt from olivine by treatment with sulphuric acid. This plant is now in commercial operation, producing approximately two tons per day. Olivine is also receiving attention from the fertilizer industry as an inexpensive source of soluble magnesium.

Epsom salt: [link to en.wikipedia.org]
(readily absorbs water from the air) and is therefore difficult to weigh accurately

Epsom salts have medicinal properties when used both externally and internally.


Remember OP mentioning that some "13th-Oct briefcases" gained weight and some lost weight ??? ...


Olivine increased plant growth (+15.6%)
