Waters Under the Oceans?

As I recall, this was also one of the main purposes of the recent Rosetta mission, due to one theory which says much of earth's water came from impacting asteroids. Apparently if they find the same isotope ratios on the comet, it could add weight to the theory.

Same as it ever was..same as it ever was... Water flowing under..

This issue been debated here all the time, but one things people who add links into these articles to proof OT nonsense do not read these sites too well. The water there is not in any liquid form, but is trapped or bounded in the crystals of the rocks. The water does escape into the sufrace through volcanism and plate tectonics. Nonetheless, there is no ocean below the crust due high pressure or temperature.

The Bible writers drew water from wells, so there is nothing remarkable about them knowing of the water table. This does not make a global flood possible, it that is where you are going.

Kaik is right, underground aquifers are in porous rocks. They aren't oceans as such, the water isn't slopping about in underground caverns. The water can end up mixed with oil and gas deposits in the same rock.

Water of crystallisation is bound within the structure of the mineral. It is not liquid. It could not drown every living thing on this planet bar those in a wooden boat!

cantleave,
To be absolutely accurate there is liquid water in porous rocks as well as water that is bound up in certain minerals. There is an awful lot of water in the rocks below us and it can rise to the surface under certain geological conditions but if there was enough of that to cause world wide flooding then you would have bigger problems than just how quickly can you put on a pair of wellington boots. Anyone hoping for geological proof of the biblical flood is going to be very disappointed though.

Caedes, the material is much, much deeper than the aquifers. Ringwoodite occurs as abundant mineral deep in the Earth's mantle, about 300 miles below us. There is temperature ranging at 1300F, which would boil al the water, but due pressure, the water molecules break appart and creates hydroxide ions which are trapped in the crystal structure of the material. Mantle represents 85% of the Earth's weight and mass, so it is really a huge reservoir of hydroxide ions.

I guess with oil prices falling, all that idle equipment could be used for fracking for water in them thar rocks,
love hot springs and geysers, though.
all that evidence from one inclusion in a diamond?
