As Oceans Flow 2900 Miles Down into Inner Earth, Water Splits and Hundreds of Tons of Hydrogen Flows Free
Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen is a major theme in the development of clean, abundant energy source. A new study lead by an international research group revealed that when water meets the iron core of the Earth, the extremely high pressures and temperatures existing at the core-mantle boundary can naturally cause water to split into hydrogen and a super oxidized iron dioxide

The article, published in the National Science Review, is the result of an international collaboration among the Center for High Pressure Science and Technology Advanced Research (HPSTAR) in China and Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC, and Department of Geosciences, Stanford University.
Furthermore, the authors point out that continuous accumulation of super oxidized iron dioxide at the core-mantle boundary throughout the Earth history may create sizable domains detectable by seismic probes. Such domains may stay at the core-mantle boundary indefinitely without disturbance. However, they are out-of-the-place in terms of their very oxidized chemistry in the very reduced environment near the iron core. In the events that they were overheated by the core, a massive amount of oxygen could be released and erupted to reach the surface, causing colossal episode such as the Great Oxidation Event 24 billion years ago that put oxygen into the atmosphere and enabled aerobic life form like us.
“This newly discovered water-splitting reaction at the middle Earth affects geochemistry from the atmosphere to the deep interior,” said the lead-author Ho-kwang Mao. “Many previous theories need to be re-examined now.”

In anwer to the article, the core of the earth is solid, the mantle is liquid and the Earth which we know is a 12 mile thick crust of rock floating as tetonic plates on a molten 1500 + degree magma layer which due to the fact that the plates melt as they subduct means any water taken down with them only gets down 35 miles if it has not already reconsitiuted as gas since the crust only makes it that far down before melting. 2900 miles takes you well within the Earths core at 1403 miles in diameter the temperature of which is over 5000 Degrees, no guys big fail liquid water cannot make it past the crust. Get a job with the BBC science department, they cry out for this sort of article.
