mantle than on the surface.

and conditions deep in the Earth.

more.

Motohiko Murakami of the Tokyo

and change their flow behavior,"

how the innards of the planet mix

affect conditions and forces

make up much of the lower mantle.

>The Japanese experiments don't guarantee
that that's the case, of course,

measured the mantle. No one is

conditions in the lab, Murakami and

a water-rich inner Earth is plausible.

on the amount of trace "impurities" in

and iron "could dramatically

these minerals," Murakami explained.

a zone between the mantle and the crust

the Japanese researchers noted. If so,

the amount of water inside the planet
