deepest hole ever drilled, the Kola Deep borehole in the Russian Arctic, reaches only 0.2 percent the way to the center...even the best scientific maps didn’t look much better than your middle-school textbook cartoon showing an outer crust, an inner core and a thick layer called the mantle in between But that picture is changing. Researchers... are...seeing is full of complex detail...The mantle appears to be layered like an onion, with major transitions 250 miles and 410 miles down. At the 410-mile level, researchers recently identified a tremendous interior mountain range, with peaks perhaps even taller than Mount Everest. “ [end of 100 word excerpt for those who only read the lead]
Researchers such as Barbara Romanowicz at the University of California, Berkeley are using seismic (earthquake) waves to scan our planet’s innards, much like doctors use ultrasound to peer inside patients...
“Recently, we’ve discovered another change at about 1,000 kilometers [600 miles] depth,” Romanowicz [at the University of California, Berkeley] says. The layers are riven by rising plumes of hot rock. And beneath the plumes, two strange blobs roughly the size of Australia bob atop the core, one beneath Africa and one under the Pacific Ocean.
“More and more, we’re understanding it’s not the standard cartoon picture,” Romanowicz says. “For geodynamicists, it’s a complete revolution.”...
mantle blobs are of special interest because of their impact on life on the surface...and those plumes can trigger devastating supervolcanic eruptions when they surface..and those plumes can trigger devastating supervolcanic eruptions when they surface...that unleashed a wave of eruptions in what is now India...Other plumes led to massive volcanoes that created Iceland and which continue to drive the rumbling activity beneath Yellowstone... . ...this approach cannot easily distinguish warm, dense material from cooler, lighter stuff. That leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

I’m pretty sure it has evened out over that period.
He had at least two songs in the movie. "My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose" and "Here's to the Prof"
“Love Letters in the Sand” would have been perfect for when the lizards showed up.
So the most recent Godzilla vs Kong movie might be closer to the truth than we all realized!
In this life we aren’t going to learn what’s down there any more than we are going to be able to see to the end of the universe, count the stars, or count the grains of sand...
FAKE NEWS.
Everyone knows that Earth Science has a ‘Settled Consensus’
this is all just cartoon stuff.
P.S. play your haarp for the winter giving days.
I loved that meeting.

Awesome movie....watched it again with the kids many times. We can practically quote the whole movie. Didn’t realize until recently that the final sequence where everyone escapes the depths through a volcanic eruption was a blatant simulation of intercoarse. They were pretty naugbty back in the 50s.....
Maybe they’ll tap into the Dark One’s prison and unleash years of chaos........crap, too late.
Appropriate verse!
I was fond of James Mason. Peter Lori was great as well.
Imagine there’s two blobs
It’s easy if you try
If they reach the surface
We will truly fry.
After a few decades of watching geowhizicists trying to see what is 5 miles down or less I can tell you that it is a science driven black art. With multiple energy sources they do pretty well but not well enough to be reliable.
