NASA Satellite Uncovers 100,000 Hidden Mountains Beneath the Ocean
As reported by SciTech Daily, a NASA satellite has made a groundbreaking discovery, identifying approximately 100,000 previously unknown underwater mountains through advanced remote sensing technology. This revelation promises to reshape our understanding of oceanic geology and Earth’s tectonic activity.
Equipped with a cutting-edge radar altimeter, the satellite penetrated deep ocean layers to map subtle seafloor variations. Data analysis revealed these mountains, averaging over 1,000 meters in height, with some rivaling terrestrial ranges like the Alps. Researchers hypothesize links to plate tectonics and volcanic activity, offering fresh insights into planetary dynamics.
The mission leveraged international collaboration, drawing on methodologies from ESA’s Corot satellite, which monitored stellar brightness for exoplanet detection—a technique adapted for undersea mapping14. NASA plans to deploy AI for deeper data analysis, focusing on how these formations influence ocean currents and biodiversity.
