1. How Can humans benefit from further research about earth’s interior?
Scientific Wonder Assignment
By Carmela Dizon

2. Our beloved Planet Earth is made out of 4 main layers; the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. The mantle and the core both have two parts. The upper mantle and the lower mantle. The outer core and the inner core. The mantle and the core are known to be about the same size. But, the core occupies 69% less than the mantle does, when it comes to the volume of the earth. Earth Scientists are focusing on informing us more about the Earth’s interior. To help them do so, they experiment rocks at high pressure and analyze the shifting of the tectonic plates. The deeper we dig, the hotter it gets due to radioactive decay and the rocks in the earth’s layers.
What we KNOW…

3. Geologists play a big part in the scientific researches about Earth’s interior. Their job insists of predicting volcanic eruptions, to warn people in advance, and find underground resources (such as water reserves) that can be useful to all. They not only find safe places to build bridges, they also find places that scientists can dig on. Using big machinery, diggers dig their way down. Apart from digging, there are many other ways to gain knowledge about Earth’s interior. How do we know what’s down there, if we’ve never been there? Simple information such as the earth having a magnetic field, allows scientists to create hypothesis. Small samples of mantle rocks appear on the Earth’s surface by volcanoes. Those mantle rocks are then experimented.
How we dig…

4. Why we dig…
Curiosity plays a big part in this. Without the ability to dig further than the crust of the Earth’s interior, the people on Earth and scientists are left with many question to what could be inside. If given the ability to go further, we might be able to find the answers to some of the big questions affecting the surface of the earth. We might discover new organisms that could survive under the surface of the earth.

5. How Can humans benefit from further research about earth’s interior?
Researches are being done to answer the long living question to the composition and evolution of landscapes. Scientists are also curious about the evolution and the formation of the ocean crust. Everything on earth is connected. By digging and researching about the earth’s interior, we might gain more information about rising mountains, that will trigger information about weather patterns that may affect the erosion rates. In conclusion, further research about earth’s interior will make us gain knowledge. By gaining knowledge, we’ll know more about our planet. Some of our questions will be answered and we may even come up with new questions. Once we learn more about earth’s interior, we’ll also learn more about the stuff that are connected to it, which is pretty much everything.

6. Interconnectedness
We know a lot about landforms. There are many different types of landforms that covers the surface of the Earth. We know that there are many process when the earth forms a landform. It can be by erosions, wave actions, and etc. Everything that is happening on the surface of the Earth is affecting by the Earth’s interior. By further research, we could know more about the developments of landforms.
