Internal structure of the Earth. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/EarthSci/people/lidunka/GEOL2014/Geophysics7%20-%20Deep%20Earth/Earth%20Structure.htm
Key Questions • How did it start to aggregate? • What were the heat sources for the reconstitution (to have such an concentric internal structure)? • Where did the atmosphere and water (volatiles) come from? • How did the life begin and bring the changes of the environment?
