Earth’s Core May Have Creamy Filling
Comments: 5
The earth’s inner core has been of interest to scientists ever since it was discovered in 1936. Imaging it has been difficult, however, because relatively few seismic waves reach it and return to the surface. In addition, the core’s extreme temperatures and pressures are hard to reproduce in a laboratory. Now a new examination of three decades of seismic data is providing a more detailed picture of our planet’s center.

Hey! Cool! I love it!
Now the question is what flavor is it?!
In any case, in exchange for some yummy nougat, we would like to put this on our “fun facts” page… would you allow that?
Thanks! Nougat USA
