Geochemists of the California Institute of Technology, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution have conducted this study. According to science alert, scientists found in rocks study that the isotops of helium inside them have been found in dense form. Which is a strong evidence that the most inner layer of the earth is leaking to the helium. The search has been published in NATURE.
Scientists have seen the results of this study to an ancient lava flow in which helium 3 is normally present in dense form. Scientists have said that there is a possibility that there are large stocks of helium within 2900 kilometers in the earth. Scientists have always been amazed about this gas and are trying to guess how much it can be present within the earth.
The helium found in the universe so far is of the time of Bing Bang, when this universe was formed 13.8 trillion years ago. The earth also swallowed some part of it, but since the earth was being constructed at that time, the rest of the part was thrown out. Human has so far dug up to 12,265 meters within the earth. It has not been able to go beyond the crust of its upper layer. So if the helium is leaking from within the earth, then it can definitely tell the situation of its construction time. Scientists are engaged in this discovery.
