The Hidden Giants That Control Earth's Volcanoes

Two continent-sized structures sit nearly three thousand kilometers beneath your feet right now — hotter than anything around them, possibly as old as the planet itself, and controlling where volcanoes erupt, where continents split, and where mass extinctions begin. Scientists call them LLSVPs. We call them Tuzo and Jason. They were discovered less than thirty years ago using earthquake waves as X-rays. We still do not know what they are made of. This film tells the full story — from the seismic detective work that revealed them to the mass extinctions they triggered to the continent splitting apart above them right now. If this kind of deep-Earth storytelling matters to you, please SUBSCRIBE — it helps us keep making it.    / @chroniclesplanetearth   #mantleplumes #LLSVPs #deepearth #platetectonics #geology #superplumes #earthscience #massextinction #Pangea #volcanoes
