The crust will be the first destination on our Journey to the Center of the Earth tour. The crust will be our shortest part of the expedition, for it is only 16 kilometers thick -- 8 below the oceans, and 40 below the continents. Make sure to pack a hat and gloves, as well as flip-flops and sunscreen, because the crust’s temperatures range from whatever the temperature is on the surface of the Earth to 870 degrees celsius! The crust is mostly made up of solid granite and basalt (volcanic lava…

For the last decade, we had to face with many super earthquake with magnitude from 7.0 to 9.0 Richter which caused devastating damage, some even send a country backward 10 years in development like Haiti earthquake in 2010 according to the UNICEF. With the power of…
Based on the chemical compositions of the different layers, it has given rise to the terms: Crust, Mantle and core. Fig. 2, Shows the compositional layers of the earth: crust, mantle and core. (http://fastoutofthegate.com/Notes%20from%20the%20Geosphere) Crust Beginning with the outermost layer, called the crust. Crust is the thinnest layer of the other.

known what the center of the earth is? There 4 ways how scientist found out about the center of the earth ( aka inner core and outer core). Answer 1: Geologists hypothesize that the Earth's center is composed of predominantly iron. The outer portion of the center, known as the "outer core", is thought to be liquid iron. While the interior portion of the center, known as the "inner core" is thought to be solid iron. Answer 2: The main evidence for the structure of the Earth comes from studying…
five Inner Suburbs around the central core as well as two outer suburbs. As time advanced, the population began to grow in different locations and scale. Through1971, the inception of outer suburbs was considerable and twelve new communities were constituted outside Metropolitan Toronto. In addition, Mississauga emerged as a big outer suburb with 204,325 inhabitants. Along these first ten years, data shows a slight shrink in the percentage of population in the central city and western inner…
they are in? What makes an inner planet? Are the inner planets the only ones found with life? The four inner planets are called terrestrial planets and they are the four closest to the sun. There are four inner planets: mercury, venus, earth, and mars. They are the closest to the sun. inner planets exist around stars and each one of them has a central care mostly made of iron. They are called inner planets because they are closer to the sun. We find life on earth (inner planet) because of its…

The Sun has been known to be an important aspect of life for every living organism on Earth. The Sun is made out of multiple layers and contains a core like Earth. It is classified as a Yellow Dwarf Star and has a surface temperature of 5,000 to 5,700 degrees celsius. But despite of this, there are many other stars in space that dwarf our Sun. The Sun also has an interesting history, from when it has been formed to the present time. The Sun is not the only star in the Milky Way. Another star…
