Huge oceans underneath Earth's surface caused global flood in times of
Noah

The Deluge was caused by underground oceans? Scientists have discovered
oceans hiding deep down inside the planet. The large bodies of water are
reportedly located at a depth of more than 1,000 km underneath the
earth's surface.
The story of the Flood is a Biblical story about the universal deluge as
recorded in Genesis. Some people regard it as a myth. However, many
scientists believe the Flood did occur in days of old. Scientists
point out numerous traces of the flooding still existent in various
parts of the globe. They also believe that the salt-water lakes
scattered around the land thousands kilometers away from a shoreline are
the remainders of the Flood.

The question is: Where did all that water come from? What was the cause
of a catastrophic deluge sweeping across the planet in the days of Noah?
According to the Bible, Noah had to build a large boat for himself, his
family, and a pair of every kind of creature to survive the Flood.
Quite a few hypotheses aim to explain the Biblical event. Some
researchers say that an asteroid or comet may have hit the planet,
causing a colossal tsunami. Others claim that rivers iced over following
a drop in temperatures. As a result, the sea level rose up
catastrophically. Other researchers link the Flood with a sudden
displacement of the earth's axis; the displacement is thought to have
triggered a huge mass of water to spew around the globe.

Until recently there was not any solid scientific evidence to back
various theories pertaining to the origins of the Flood. The situation
changed in February following reports on a sensational discovery by U.S.
researchers. According to their study, the water which flooded the
planet came out from the depths of Earth. The researchers discovered
immense bodies of water below the earth's surface.

Two underground oceans
Planet Earth is constantly monitored by seismographs, the instruments
for measuring and recording the vibrations of earthquakes. The
vibrations recorded in different parts of the planet enable researchers
to obtain valuable data regarding the dispersion of shock waves in the
earth's crust and mantle. Professor of Seismology Michael Wysession at
George Washington University of Saint Louis and Jesse Lawrence, a
postgraduate at the University of California in San Diego, joined forces
to carry out an extensive research. Their work involved the analysis of
600 thousand seismograms. The findings really made them gasp in
astonishment: there was evidence indicating that at least two large
bodies of water were located underneath Eurasia and North America.
"The specific attenuation characteristics of the lengthwise seismic
waves clearly indicate the presence of water. Those characteristics are
pertinent to water," said Prof. Wysession.
The researchers also designed a 3-D model of the area on the basis of
sounding data. They are confident that the underground oceans contain as
much water as the Arctic Ocean does. The water is located at a depth
ranging from 1,200 km to 1,400 km.
