If the Earth did not have the ability to store oxygen in the deep reaches of its mantle there would probably be no life on its surface. This is the conclusion reached by scientists at the University of Bonn who have subjected the mineral majorite, which normally occurs only at a depth of several hundred kilometers under very high pressures and temperatures, to close laboratory examination.
