Nisulay ko ug ask ni Chat GPT sa list of flood control projects sa Southern Leyte kay uso man ni karon nga ginaestoryahan. Mao ni tubag ni Chat GPT. Tan awa naa ba ang inyong lungsod unya tan awa ug naa ba gyud ning mga proyektoha sa inyong lugar ug kung sakto ba ang pagkahimo. Kung duda ka, itawag sa Presidential Hotline or sa Senate kay ongoing ang investigation. Pero kabalo nata asa rani padulong ang investigation.

Scientists have discovered evidence of a massive underground water reservoir located about 400 miles beneath the Earth’s surface. This hidden ocean is believed to hold three times the volume of all Earth’s oceans combined. The discovery centers on a deep-Earth mineral called ringwoodite, which uniquely traps water within its crystal structure under the extreme heat and pressure found in the Earth’s mantle.

Ringwoodite holds water not as a liquid, but as a special high-pressure phase known as supercritical water—a state that is neither liquid, solid, nor gas. Scientists detected this underground water by studying seismic waves generated by earthquakes. When these waves passed through ringwoodite-rich zones, they slowed down, signaling the presence of water deep inside the planet.

This groundbreaking finding challenges previous theories about Earth’s water origins. Rather than water coming only from comets or surface processes, it suggests that Earth’s water may have been cycling within the planet’s interior for billions of years. This discovery has major implications for understanding Earth’s geology, the long-term water cycle, and the planet’s formation and evolution.
