Revealed:The vast reservoir hidden beneath the Earth's crust that holds as much water as ALL of the oceans Believed to be 400-600 kilometres (250-375 miles) beneath our feet 1.5 percent of the rock analysed comprises molecules of water First time researchers have ever found ringwoodite, a mineral in the Earth's mantle - after discovering it in a $20 diamond Researchers say discover could have a 'profound' effect on our understanding on Earth By MARK PRIGG PUBLISHED: 22:36 GMT, 12 March 2014 | UPDATED: 14:21 GMT, 13 March 2014 Scientists have discovered a vast reservoir of water under the Earth's mantle they say could be larger than all the ocean's combined.
