Research was carried out by scientists at the university of mines . They crushed minerals between diamonds to mimic earth 's core . And they found there must be a new continent 930 miles underground . The superviscous geology helps explain why some plates do n't sink . And the findings also suggest Earth 's core is hotter than thought .
