Teagle has worked on eight drilling projects worldwide, all of which have extended just miles into the Earth's uppermost layer, the crust. According to a recent article from Live Science, "The reality of exploring under Earth's surface isn't so simple, says Damon Teagle, professor of geochemistry at the National Oceanography Center, University of Southampton. The core is also divided the outer core is comprised of liquid (iron and nickel) and is about 1,800-3,200 miles below the surface and 1,400 miles thick, while the inner core is solid nickel and iron, extremely hot, and 3,200-3,960 miles below the crust and 750 miles in diameter. The mantle, which is divided into an upper and lower part, is about 1,800 miles thick and is comprised of hot, semisolid rock. The crust is hard but thin, about five miles under the oceans and twenty under the continents. The structure of the Earth: the Earth is divided into a crust, mantle, and core. Thus, modern readers should keep in mind a few of the geological aspects that the novel covers and that supplement Verne’s narrative.ġ. Jules Verne intended his Journey to the Centre of the Earth to be not only thrilling but also didactic he wanted to share the exciting new developments in various scientific fields with his readers and give them more in-depth knowledge than they might normally expect from a novel.
