Scientists have found the remains of another planet inside the Earth

Information has appeared online about a new study by scientists from Arizona. According to him, large parts of the substance in

The Earth's mantle may be parts of Theia. This is the same protoplanet, the collision with which “gave” us the Moon.

The reason for this assumptionthere was a difference in the density of the earth's mantle, according to the work of scientists. At the same time, to support their ideas, experts have developed a full-fledged model that depicts the Earth as it was about 4.5 billion years ago.

Scientists then showed what could happen ifcollision of our planet with a planet the size of Mars or even larger. At the same time, the model created by experts also suggests that Theia’s manti was rich in iron - this made the planet extremely dense.

The Arizona team notes that their work in this area is not the first. But, according to scientists, it is their study that is the most complete to date.
