Everything Everywhere Daily - A Journey to the Center of the Earth

No matter where you are on Earth right now, there is approximately 6,400 kilometers or 4,000 miles of rock beneath your feet. 

All of that rock isn’t the same. There exist different layers below the surface that have different properties and different compositions. 

There is even a layer near the center of the Earth where the rock isn’t even a solid, but a liquid. 

The way we are able to know about what lies beneath the surface is one of the greatest accomplishments of science. 

Learn more about the composition of the interior of the Earth on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
