The Earth’s interior Activity The Earth’s composition tells a story about itself. It gives us clues to its past and proofs about the gradual and slow changes that it has undergone for over 4.6 billion years. Have you ever wondered what is under the ground? You leave your footprints in sand and soil. You touch the soil and play with it, You get some soil samples and identify the substances present in the soil. But nobody has seen beyond the area where humans have conducted mining activities. However, man has invented instruments to get information from the depths of the earth. One such information is on vibration. These vibrations have been recorded and analyzed. Do you know that the earth’s interior is a layered structure composed of core, mantle and crust? Table 1 summarizes inside Planet Earth. the nature of the different layeTable 1.
