Water stored in the mantle for millions of years may be linked to continental volcanism

The mantle transition zone (MTZ), which occurs 410–670 kilometers below Earth's surface, may store several oceans' worth of water. This water, which is carried to such depths by subducting tectonic slabs, is stored in minerals like ringwoodite and wadsleyite.
