Summary:
- Scientists have discovered mysterious lava puddles deep within the Earth's mantle, which may provide clues about the origin of life on our planet.
- These lava puddles, called "ultra-low velocity zones," are areas where seismic waves travel much slower than the surrounding mantle, indicating the presence of molten rock.
- Studying the composition and behavior of these lava puddles could help scientists better understand the early conditions on Earth that may have led to the development of life.
