Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The lead author of the new research said their team confirmed that \u201ca deformation on the surface of an area of the Andes Mountains has a large portion of the lithosphere below avalanched away.”<\/p>\n

A portion of our planet\u2019s lithosphere beneath the Andes has been dripping into Earth\u2019s core, with the process apparently taking place over the course of several million years, a new study suggests.<\/p>\n

According to ScienceAlert, this so-called lithospheric dripping has been identified \u201cfairly recently\u201d on Earth. During this process, sections of the planetary rocky crust start dripping into the mantle as they become heated to a certain temperature.<\/p>\n

The experiments conducted by the research team in a bid to confirm that lithospheric dripping was really responsible for the creation of certain geological features in the Central Andes have reportedly also revealed other ways in which the process may deform the planet\u2019s crust, and not all of them were observed in the Andes. Thus, the media outlet notes, there may be other regions of the world where other forms of lithospheric dripping may be observed.<\/p>\n
