the Earth's core is thought to consist largely of molten iron (red). But at the very core, the pressure is so great that this superhot iron crystallizes into a solid. Convection caused by heat radiating from the core, along with the rotation of the Earth, causes ...
A new model explains how the newly born Earth's iron core formed as dribs and drabs of iron percolated inward from the planet's lower mantle.
but this is for another programme. Now, let's get on to the serious matter of today's quiz question. I asked: What is the name of the main process involved in producing alcohol
How much of Earth's crust is non-silicate minerals? What is below the Earth's crust? What does the crust do for the Earth? What sphere extends from Earth's core to the Earth's crust? How much copper is in the Earth's crust?
I’m not sure. I know it’s a lot so I’m going to say a) a half Dan We’ll find out if you’re right or not at the end of this show. So, the actual figure is 1.3 billion tons of food, which is enough t...

What does seismology reveal about Earth's interior? What type of wave can actually reach Earth's inner core? How are the Earth's crust and mantle different? How do plate tectonics shape the Earth? What are the properties of Earth's inner core?

From what we know so far, building a sound satellite system costs a bundle. Besides, the other systems are already well-established. So, what makes China's BDS stand out among its competitors? Firstly, the other systems have 24 satellites in medium earth orbit (MEO). In...
