    I did not dream of digging to the center of the earth. My single-digits self thought I could dig from my grandmother's house in Virginia all the way to England to meet Paul McCartney. It was the 80s. My cousin dug with me, but at some future point HER tunnel would diverge so she could meet Bon Jovi in New Jersey.
    Anyway here I am, still in the US. My hole in the ground only never made it deeper than 2 or 3 inches.

    Semi-interesting to hear the "what" answered by this video, but I'd be more interested in a video that goes into the "how we know" (how these discoveries were made, and how confident we are about their accuracy). Seems pretty remarkable that we apparently know all of the different elements and physical behaviors of these elements at various depths despite never directly reaching even 0.5% of the depth we claim to describe in this video. What tool(s) were used to make these discoveries and how do they work? That'd be an awesome video!

      That's a very interesting place biologically speaking, too! There are around 2,000 known species of African cichlids, over 500 known species in the three largest rift lakes (Victoria, Malawi, and Tanganyika) alone! The lakes are very deep, so likely there are many more species that haven't been found. No other genus of animal has evolved into so many species so fast.

    15:05 when I first heard this theory in college close to a decade ago, i always assumed it would be that the inner-inner-core is concentrated in elements even heavier than iron, since the leading explaination for the core being iron rich is through differentiation early in formation. If iron can sink to the center of the earth because it is too heavy, then surely platinum, lead, uranium, etc can do the same.

    As a geolgist, the nature of the minerals deep in the earth will always be a frustrating problem to solve.
    We can't recreate those conditions in a lab, so while we know the rock composition, we don't always know the properties of them.
    Take bridgmanite, it's the most common mineral on earth, making up most of the lower mantle. We don't know what the properties of it are, because there's no way to look at it. Any grains of it that are pulled to the surface regress to a different state and we can't dig that deep. One tiny grain of it was found, but it was too small and rare to tell us much.

    hey so about the ringwoodite... @OctopusLady talked about this apparently in the geological sense water just means hydrogen, as in the "water" is referring to hydrogen rich molecules not actually water, so while some is probably trapped in ringwoodite, there may have been a misunderstanding. Which one of your sources did you use to find its all ringwoodite?

    • @courtneym.3647
      @courtneym.3647 2 дня назад

      So when water gets chemically bound up in rocks or molecules, it can do so in a few different forms. With ringwoodite, because of the high temp and pressure, it's bound up as a hydroxyl radical - a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom bound together. It's formed by the reaction of olivine and water at high temp + pressure. Technically it's not *water* in the sense that it's not H2O, and it's a component of the crystal structure, but it can undergo processes that reform the water and cause chemical and physical changes to the mantle. So it's considered a sort of reservoir of water - just not in the traditional sense of "large pool of liquid".
      (Source: www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=111648. It links back to the original ringwoodite paper as well.)
      Water in a geochemical sense does *not* just mean hydrogen, though. And that's speaking from both a chemistry degree and some experience with geochemistry, specifically. I'd recommend looking into hydrates and hydrous minerals if you're interested in more examples (including ones where it *is* H2O being bound up in the crystal structure).
      Will say I can't speak to SciShow's sources, though, and I didn't do enough reading to find if they think the reservoir is all ringwoodite or not.

    Wehn i was like 9, my older brother wanted to dig a hole to china. About 2 months after he started, my parents could stand in the hole and be all the way in the hole standing up with the walls taller than that. The whole neighborhood started helping build the hole. It eventually got filled by the city again because we lived on a military base and they didnt like the hole.

    You were talking about what we'd see as we drilled down but my first thought was that it would be dark since you're underground. So you wouldn't see anything. But that got me wondering, at which point would it be deep enough for the rocks to start glowing from the heat?
    Think about it. It's pitch black underground because there's no sunlight. Up to a certain point. At a certain depth underground would be full of light.

    Very sloppy SciShow. Those are not Trilobite fossils at 5:20 they're Ammonites, which were a type of cephalopod whereas trilobites were arthropods. It's like mistaking squid for crabs. Send your scriptwriter/editor back down into the salt mines until they repent for their sins !

    8:59 how would the constant flow of the mantles currents affect the drill? After a few years it should have shifted enough to create some sort of force on the drill right?

    Those two giant "earmuff" lobes are intriguing. They've just been more or less static like that all through geologic time despite (I assume) convection going on all around them? And do their shapes somehow dictate or channel zones of upwelling, and concurrently the locations of hotspots like Hawai'i and Yellowstone?

    Some geologists postulate that the very center of the core accumulates enough heavy radioactive elements like uranium and thorium to sustain a chain reaction. Our planet's core could be an actual atomic reactor.

    I will venture to say that east west oriented inner core is from uneven irregularities in the crystal structure between it and the outer core and the pressure so that the pressure squeezed it and it locked into place like a random nucleation and defect

    I watch some of Cleo's videos and saw the one about Earth's crust in my suggestions but wasn't going to watch it. Now I'm curious what is different about her video and will watch it. I like SciShow because I don't see the glaring errors in science that I see in some of the other RUclips channels. Now you're Insanely Curious I bet 🙄. When SciShow does make an error (yep it happens), SciShow corrects it. Thanks for another great video.
