Hello everyone here are some more facts about Earth.
The Earth's inner core is so hot it could melt metal, it remains solid because it is surrounded by such immense pressure.
The Earth is made up of different layers, which formed when the planet was young and extremely hot. These layers are all held in place by the enormous force of gravity, acting upon the planets inner core and incredibly hot ball of iron and nickel.
Some of the layers are partly molten which means that they contain extremely hot liquid and are covered by an outer layer of solid rock and called the crust.
The rock that makes up the surface of the Earth is constantly changing as more and more layers are added. Its composition can be divided into three different types of rock.
Estimates of the temperature of the Earth's inner core vary but scientists believe it is most likely between 5,000 – 7,000 degrees Celsius or 9,000-13,000's degrees Fahrenheit.
My maximum comfortable temperature is 35c.. after that, I try not to move around more than necessary. So no exploring towards the centre of the earth, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI get that, I don't like extreme heat

I don't think most of use really comprehend how hot it was when learning this at school, I know I couldn't
DeleteYes, it is amazing how we are here at all on this miraculous planet.
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteMy kids had a Magic School Bus book where they journeyed to the center of the earth.. I remember some of what you said from that book.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what information we have stored in our brains
DeleteLove Chatty's comment.Real science always shows God's hand.
ReplyDeleteThat it does
DeleteThat's very interesting. I have a niece who has gone a bit weird lately and she is claiming the earth is flat. She's 47 years old.
ReplyDeleteThat poor women having a brain that isn't work at its best is not good
