Could it also be magma or even oil?

My seismology is limited...

Maybe we could make a big pot of soup and feed the world!

Yeah right! what planet are you from? and even if it could happen,it would be next to impossible to heat it up,put things in it,and have the world's population be fed at the perimeter while keeping it sterile!

BEAT THAT !

The pair analyzed more than 600,000 seismograms—records of waves generated by <A href="http://www.livescience.com/earthquakes/">earthquakes</A> traveling through the Earth—collected from instruments scattered around the planet.

They noticed a region beneath Asia where seismic waves appeared to dampen, or “attenuate,” and also slow down slightly. “Water slows the speed of waves a little,” Wysession explained. “Lots of damping and a little slowing match the predictions for water very well.”
