Gold and Precious Metals Leak From Earth's Core

Gold and Precious Metals Leak From Earth's Core

Scientists discovered that gold and other precious metals are leaking from Earth's core towards the surface.

This finding comes from analyzing volcanic rocks, specifically those from Hawaii.

These rocks contain Ruthenium-100, a marker believed to originate from the core.

The study indicates that the core is not as isolated as previously thought, and material from the core-mantle boundary rises to the surface, forming islands.

The leaked gold and metals could impact the supply of resources used in renewable energy and other critical sectors.

This new perspective changes how we understand the Earth's inner dynamics and how resources are distributed.
