Mount Everest has nothing on these monsters.
our planet's interior that dwarf the tallest ranges on the surface — and scientists are puzzling over the origin of these geological marvels.
. Some can be "4.5 times the height of Everest" or more than 24 miles in height, researchers told the, and completely hidden until they were revealed by seismic data from earthquakes and even atomic explosions. Adding to the grandeur, when you find these interior mountains you will also likely find another mysterious deep-Earth structure, large low-shear-velocity provinces or "blobs," asreports that these mountain ranges and blobs could offer valuable new clues into the shifting and jostling of tectonic plates as they move from the Earth's crust into the deep mantle.A team of scientists led by Hansen has been studying these ULVZs via seismology stations in Antarctica.
