Shkalla e mundshme e k\u00ebtij rezervuari t\u00eb brendsh\u00ebm t\u00eb ujit \u00ebsht\u00eb trondit\u00ebse. Edhe n\u00ebse vet\u00ebm 1% e mas\u00ebs s\u00eb ringwooditit p\u00ebrb\u00ebhet nga uji, v\u00ebllimi i p\u00ebrgjithsh\u00ebm mund t\u00eb jet\u00eb tre her\u00eb m\u00eb i madh se v\u00ebllimi i kombinuar i oqeaneve sip\u00ebrfaq\u00ebsore t\u00eb Tok\u00ebs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ky oqean i fshehur nuk u zbulua duke g\u00ebrmuar \u2013 ai u zbulua p\u00ebrmes analiz\u00ebs s\u00eb val\u00ebve sizmike .

N\u00ebp\u00ebrmjet nj\u00eb kombinimi t\u00eb leximeve sizmike dhe studimeve minerale, shkenc\u00ebtar\u00ebt konfirmuan se depozitat e ringwooditit n\u00eb zon\u00ebn e tranzicionit t\u00eb mantelit jan\u00eb t\u00eb pasura me uj\u00eb \u2013 duke krijuar nj\u00eb rezervuar t\u00eb brendsh\u00ebm uji n\u00eb shkall\u00eb globale q\u00eb deri m\u00eb tani kishte mbetur plot\u00ebsisht i fshehur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kjo metod\u00eb e zbulimit indirekt mund t\u00eb hap\u00eb der\u00ebn p\u00ebr identifikimin e rezervuar\u00ebve t\u00eb tjer\u00eb t\u00eb thell\u00eb t\u00eb Tok\u00ebs , ndoshta edhe m\u00eb t\u00eb thell\u00eb ose kimikisht m\u00eb kompleks sesa mendohej m\u00eb par\u00eb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Implikimet e k\u00ebtij zbulimi jan\u00eb t\u00eb thella.
