China is drilling a 10,000-meter-deep hole into Earth’s crust

The narrow shaft into the ground will penetrate more than 10 continental strata or layers of rock & reach the cretaceous system in the Earth’s crust

Off the coast of Portugal, the Earth’s crust might be peeling in two

The peeling is likely driven by a water-absorbing layer in the middle of the tectonic plate!
