Why is it difficult to study the formation of the earth and its structure?
Answers
As earth is very big and it's formation is also very tipical to understand...
✒️The earth's surface is predominantly made up of rocks which are thick in diameter and difficult to break through.
✒️ During the earth's formation, these rocks were liquid in form, due to excessive heat.
✒️Over time, the temperatures cooled down, allowing the rocks to solidify and heavier rocks to sink down to the center of the earth.
✒️The lighter rocks remained on the surface and broke down to create soil.
✒️Scientists have attempted to dig further into the earth to discover the deeper layers, lying beneath the crust, but they are incapable of digging deep enough.
✒️This is due to the solid rocks, the thick diameter of the crust and the excessive heat and temperature in the deeper layers which are closer to the core.
✒️To study the formation and structure of the earth, scientists need to rely on earthquakes which create cracks in the earth's crust and study samples of magma.
