'Impossible' mantle earthquakes actually occur all over the world, study finds

TL;DR


Summary:

• **Earthquakes Happen Deeper Than Scientists Thought** - Scientists used to think earthquakes could only happen in the Earth's crust (the top layer), but new research shows that earthquakes also happen much deeper in the mantle, which is the layer of rock beneath the crust. This discovery helps us understand more about how our planet works inside.

• **These Deep Earthquakes Are Happening Everywhere** - Researchers found that these deep mantle earthquakes occur all around the world, not just in a few special places. By studying these earthquakes, scientists are learning new things about the rocks and materials deep inside the Earth that we can't see or touch directly.
