Giant blob found deep beneath Nevada

Giant blob found deep beneath Nevada

The blob, which drips like honey, is between 15 and 20 million years old

Hidden beneath the U.S. West's Great Basin, scientists have spied a giant blob of rocky material dripping like honey.

The Great Basin consists of small mountain ranges separated by valleys and includes most of Nevada, the western half of Utah and portions of other nearby states.

While studying the area, John West of Arizona State University and his colleagues found evidence of a large cylindrical blob of cold material far below the surface of central Nevada. Comparison of the results with CAT scans of the inside of Earth taken by ASU's Jeff Roth suggested they had found a so-called lithospheric drip. (Earth's lithosphere comprises the crust or outer layer of Earth and the uppermost mantle.)

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

That is cool though.

I say poke away. The world's full of doom and gloom... I don't think we can get away from the doom so we may as well have some doom with entertainment value.
