Parts of ancient planet inside the Earth?

[dlamberth]

"There are two giant but mysterious structures underneath the Earth’s surface, which just might be part of an ancient planet.

Yep, all this time we’ve been looking to solve the mysteries in space – but we’ve actually been standing on one all along.

That’s because underneath Africa and the Pacific, there are two large structures which are estimated to take up between three and nine percent of the Earth’s total volume, sitting between the surface and the planet’s metallic core.

The one under Africa is known as Tuzo, and is thought to be around 497 miles in height. The other is known as Jason, and is a little taller – this is estimated to be up to 1,118 miles in height."

Thanks @dlamberth. The stuff you find is really interesting.

I had heard about the origin of the moon as the possible result of a collision but the idea that that we may still be carrying the leftovers was news.

This is funny what science believers will believe and especially the atheist ones who say God believers believe in Biblical fables. Too bad many people who believe in God align with these science fables.

It's a shame there's no pictures of the 'structures' because it'd be cool to see what they look like. Just to help visualize them.

The Moon is not from a collision

I said possible result of a collision. There are a number of competing hypotheses although collision with a very big lump of spacey something is the current best bet.

I take it you have a different view?

The Moon is not natural…

A hollow structure, built by aliens, as a bulk storage depot for green cheese.

Everything that earth is today is part of an ancient planet. There is no gap between a unique old earth and a unique new earth. Earth terraforms itself gradually over time. All this is, is just discovering new aspects of our planet's process of terraforming. Why do the BBC feels the need to clickbait the title?

I think you're confusing the MSN article with the BBC article, which is the first linked page since that has the good question of why there underground peaks taller than Mount Everest, and it's a very good read too. Very interesting, even if you don't know much about geology like myself.

If true, then most likely, they are simply two lumps of rock mass with a slight difference in density than that of the surrounding rocks (such as 3.4 vs 3.6). I believe the one in Africa is denser and the one in the Pacific is lighter (looser).

I think the use of structure didn't help.

Granted, I imagined it as being something akin to a mountain, but some sort of visualization would still help. It's just the sort of guy I am.
