A shocking discovery by scientists shows that the Earth’s mantle is moving ten times faster than originally thought, as reported by the Daily Mail. The revelation, which has taken researchers by complete surprise, came after the first comprehensive survey of the Earth’s mantle. In fact, it seems that the surface of the planet is literally “bobbing” up and down “like a yo-yo” on a million year scale.

This bizarre and dynamic concept means ten times more activity than geologists originally predicted. So what does it actually mean?

The mantle

The Earth is made up of many layers, with the upper layer – the mantle – being composed mostly of silicate rock and minerals. Here are some quick facts about the Earth’s mantle, as reported by Universe Today:
The mantle has an average thickness of 1,793 miles.
It makes up 84% of the Earth by volume.
It is predominantly solid, but behaves like a viscous fluid.
Temperatures in this layer are close to melting point.
