Earthquake experts have detected deep extraordinary structures under the continents on mid-lithosphrical depths (80-120 km), but the reason for them is uncertain.

In a new research, Zhang Et El. [2025] Use the latest computer simulation that combines the first principles (or basic assumptions) with machine learning to discover a new form of calcium carbonate, which is an important mineral of carbon -ending in the deep interior of the earth. In this newly identified phase, the middle lithosphrical conditions pass through a remarkable flexibility, which greatly reduces the speed of the earthquake. Even as detecting the amount of such carbonate can describe the earthquake indicators and the extraordinary electrical properties observed below the ancient continental areas.

These results show that carbonates play a more important role than to recognize the continent’s structure. In addition, the results show that modern computational methods can expose the unexpected aspects of the deep carbon cycle and the long -term stability of the continent roots.
