I do find it funny when people like to use a strawman argument where they take an oversimplified fact and try to disprove it by simply going into alot of detail on the subject. Diagrams like this are kind of like how old map makers used to draw in random clouds, or shapeless blobs over unexplored regions or in areas where they'd heard there was land but it hadnt been charted in detail yet: they weren't meant to mean that there wasn't anything there just that it wasn't explored yet and the map maker wanted to tell people "hey maybe there's something here but im not sure what exactly".
I actually have to call the title more than a little clickbaity. The diagram isn't a lie, it's an abstraction. It shows the layers of the earth in a straightforward manner so that those young students studying the topic have a visual aid. Everything else is details that are supposed to be covered in class, and generally is if the teacher is worth a damn. The diagram of the earth is as much a "lie" as a drawing of an atom, or a topographic map.
Too many dumb teachers tell their students that diagrams such as that are a true representation of reality, so I think it's best to only show the accurate diagram
Yes but when I learned about this I was a child and this would've been confusing to me. Teaching the perfect spheres is just a way to better visualize this.
They weren’t trying to criticize the fact that it is taught simply to children. Just point out that a lot of people, like myself, might not have been aware that their understanding was incorrect, or at the very least very simple. Sure if someone asked me if the layers were perfect spheres I could say probably not, but it’s not something I’ve thought about since 4th grade. And I think that’s all they meant to point out.
@Patrick B It's kind of like teaching the Bohr model of the atom to late elementary school/early middle schoolers. Yes, we know electrons don't orbit the nucleus like planets, but it helps children conceptualize what atoms are. Then when you get to 10th/11th grade chemistry, you can go nuts with sp3 shells! LOL
@@OSUfirebird18 I disagree your basically making them learn the same thing all over again if its too complicated to teach in 5th grade teach it in 6th don't just teach the wrong thing because it's easier to explain now I think the model of the Earth is fine because for all intents and purposes your being taught the right thing just not all of the details while in your example your pretty much taught something that's false and then years later once the wrong way is firmly planted in your head you have to learn a whole new system and explanation. While in the Earth model everything you learned has been correct they just didn't put in some of the fine details because there no point in learning the Earth has bumps around it's core unless you're going to study that specifically
Oversimplication = lose information. I dont think anyone is expecting elementary school kids to know about random mantle protrusions, but it is interesting to know now that you're older no?
This actually explains a lot of stuff I was taught about the earth but didn't fully understand. You see, I was told that the Mariana Trench was continental plates returning to the mantle, but that the crust goes 24 miles down, not 20,000 ft. So this blob underneath the Pacific Ocean makes perfect sense.
3:13 I’ve wondered what caused that seemingly random hotspot in the middle of the ocean ever since I first learned about it. This hypothesis makes a lot of sense!
That makes sense. I don’t think I ever actually literally thought the layers where perfect spheres. Why would they be? Nothing else is that flat. Though I never thought much about it.
Real Donald Trump Well Mr. President, if you think back to the diagrams in school, those where explained as irregular spots of pressure, and heat on the mantle, with the mantle sliding around the top most layer. This video fills in the fact that irregularities between layers are responsible for the formation of those sort of anthill like structures in the mantle.that are outlets for pressure and heat. My condolences about the impeachment, it’s kind of flimsy, and sets a bad precedent. Here’s hoping the inquiry comes up dry... Running the United States like the clumsy good old boy politics found in board rooms and private Galas is plain stupid though. You should’ve learned from the Dems in that matter. Discretion is valuable as you now know. But you never had any, why should your coterie?.The head school yard bully, is often not the head by merit, but rather because his underlings let him go first. Alas you thought you where the head because of your skill and cunning.
No one thought the inside of the Earth was perfect spheres. We know the diagram is just a simplistic explanation of the differing layers of the Earth. The only thing that this video brought to light was blogs the size of continents near the bottom of the mantel.
Imma be real. I never thought they were perfect spheres, but I also didn't thought they weren't. I just knew there were different layers. I never gave it thought and I'm glad I know now for sure.
I cant even wrap my head around how much sea water simply gets swallowed up by gaps in the tectonic plates all the way down to the mantle and all the life that gets taking with it
I mean, I'm sure you can't, because nobody knows lol. If the Earth does lose water that way, then it would be a new discovery. Our current state of knowledge is that the Earth only loses water in outer space, and receives a slightly smaller amount from comets and meteorites. If the Earth did lose constantly vasts amount of water in the mantle, then we would have to revise our models... And it would be pretty concerning too, because there isn't that much water on the surface of Earth. Same thing when it comes to life, as far as we know barely anything disappears that way.
That diagram is a model and it's as much a lie as the model of our solar system and other simple models we use in science. As in, not really, it's just incomplete and there's much simplification going on. Which you can then learn deeper at more advanced schools if it piqued your interest. Though I guess "incomplete" is not as click-baity as "a lie".
Wait, they'd pick a title that would try to get folks to watch it? Then I'm starting to think that my book "The story about a detective who eventually solves the murder" needs a better title.
People are seemingly too dumb to comprehend what a model is and that scientists try to simply things so that idiots might hopefully get a clue what they are trying to say. If everything was explained in Detail, these idiots would start moaning an bitching even more. These click baity titles only strenghen the anti science and anti school attitude of most people.
I learned the chemical composition way (crust, mantle, inner and outer cores) in elementary school, and then in middle school I learned the physical properties way (lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesophere, inner and outer cores)
Come on, they can say that it’s proof because it has to be uneven to fold map to make it appear to be round. I’m still trying to figure out how we can get orbits and travel to work with popping over the edges of maps to make this flat earth exist. The round earth theory/fact is almost flawless.
As far as I remember our school books (southern Germany) actually showed irregularities. I mean of course: there has to be some, so vulcanos can exist. But those weren't two large objects, rather multiple smaller ones (like swirls and "channels", especially near vulcanos). It wasn't known back then. And I wouldn't include them in school books yet, since it's not totally understood and newer findings might show a different picture. So better keep simplified versions for kids.
Please don’t use clickbait. It’s not a lie, it’s an over simplification for the sake of learning. It’s extremely dangerous to keep saying things like “Everything you were taught in school about XYZ is a lie” or “Here’s what the science books WON’T teach you”. So, SO tired of seeing those sensationalist headlines. It really undermines our education system. This is supposed to be a science and learning channel.
The curse of RUclips. You have to use clickbait or many would not have even clicked on the video on the first place, causing a slow but never ending decline of views and the loss of relevancy of this channel. In short, sensatiobaliist headlines of slow (or fast) channel death.
There are science chanells that does not do this at the consequence of not attacting lots of attention and ofcourse they did not choose that and hence why you are here and not at good ones.
The educational system undermines reality... It exists to train a programmeable inner voice for population control and its been this way since the Brits started the industrial revolution by making the technology public.. its all planned dude..
What a bad title... the diagram is just a general representation and its stays true to the subject, the planet is like that buts thats just a very simplified view.
@@stevenbrock528 “close” does not mean “is”. The diagrams are not lying or close to it, they are just an approximation of how the inner earth is organized. It’s like handing someone a sphere made of clay and being told that it isn’t because it has a tiny dent in it.
I just watched a video form a channel focusing on astronomy and it was said that Theia, the celestial body that collided with Earth and created the moon, is what these LLSV's are. Theia was a Mars sized body, part of it formed the moon, other parts sunk into the Earth's mantle because they were very dense. Apparently when we add the mass of the moon and the LLSV's mass, we roughly get a mass that correlates to an object like Theia. There's also no other celestial body that could be the remains of Theia (parts that didn't become the moon) so this hypothesis somewhat checks out.
Yeah, but elementary school me didn't need to know all that detail. Just a vague idea that would be refined as needed for my profession or by my interests.
jablue I don’t think the point of that section was that it shouldn’t be taught simply to elementary school students, but rather that most people haven’t heard anything else, and might still be under that impression years after elementary school. They are, as you said, refining people’s understanding by their interests, as in the people watching this video.
I've always found it amazing that we often know more about a planet millions of kilometers away while being baffled by the crust a few kilometers below the ocean or the layers beneath it.
Except when it comes to Geology, we *don’t* know more about any other planet more than we know about Earth. Until we get humans to Mars and run various tests, we have yet to learn as much as we have about Earth’s insides. It’ll be interesting once we get there to learn how similar Mar’s mantle is to Earth’s.
For a while it's clear to me that the vision of earth as a solid object is quite flawed. Pretty much everything about the Earth below 50km is more or less just molten rock and metal. Another quite flawed perception of Earth is the Earth as a spheroid or whatever. The difference between the poles and the equator is just about 70km which compared to the diameter of the Earth is negligible. If compared to a soccer ball, the crevices between the sections of a soccer ball scaled up to the size of the earth, would be hundreds of kilometers deep. Oceans would be only present in these crevices while the rest of the surface will be a mountainous desert.
I know you were just using it for comparison, but now I'm gonna spend the rest of the day imagining society, transportation and agriculture on the soccer ball planet.
@@yakarotsennin3115 Not sure they would. If the surface is that unnaturally even, it would have to be either artificial or the surface would be tectonically dead. There's a number of things we'd have to ignore to make that work.
@@nekroneko Overall, it doesn't sound like it would be naturally occurring. Where would people live though? Along the walls of the valley above the sea? What would the weather be like in there? How would temperature and convection zones work?
@@josephblanchard6248 No its not... go put a paint can next to a milk jug. They're roughly the same size. plus a gallon is a measure of volume not mass.
I don’t know if you guys have covered it already, but you should do a video about how the mantle is actually green, not red/orange/yellow like all of the diagrams show
I think that the red color is used to denote the temperature of the mantle (1000 degrees celsius!), not the composition. We know that the composition is high in silicates, which is an ingredient in olivine (a green/black mineral) and pyroxene that form Peridotite, the green rock you're thinking of.
They also think the blobs might be left over material from theta crashing into us. Theta is the planet that may have crashed into us creating the moon and us.
It is refreshing to watch a video that doesn't make the mistake of claiming that the mantle is a vast ocean of molten rock feeding all of the Earth's volcanoes. That's still something kids learn in school (which I discovered to my consternation, in a previous life as a university geology prof), but the idea really needs to die. It's not over-complicating matters to tell kids the truth (rather than giving them a fantasy that we've known to be false for many decades). Magma forms due to one of two main processes, in the upper mantle. Either a slab of subducting oceanic crust brings hydrated minerals (and perhaps water under extremely high temperatures and pressures) into the mantle, where it leaves the crust and lowers the melting point of the minerals in the mantle above the subducting slab, enabling it to PARTIALLY melt. Being liquid, it has a lower density than the surrounding solid rock, and therefore has a tendency to be more buoyant, forcing its way through the mantle, the tectonic plate, and possibly all the way to the surface of the Earth, forming a volcano. OR, convection currents in the solid mantle (or these mantle plumes) bring hot, solid rock from deep in the mantle to shallower locations. The reduction in pressure, without a reduction in temperature of a similar scale, allows the solid material to partially melt, and continue to rise as magma through the mantle, and lithospheric plates, to possibly form a volcano. You don't have to invoke phase diagrams or related concepts (like what a solidus is) to explain this. Just teach that matter can change phases due to changes in composition, temperature and pressure, and that the rock in the Earth's mantle behaves a bit like wax, or Play-Doh, subject to moving around while remaining solid. As for these plumes of low-velocity material (commonly called mantle plumes), they're weird. They're also not all the same. Some of them do appear to contain thermal anomalies (seemingly vindicating the nomenclature assigned to them: "hotspot"), but others appear no hotter than the surrounding mantle material. Furthermore, because of the heat being produced within the Earth (due primarily to the radioactive decay of isotopes that were trapped in the Earth during its formation), some have theorized that the mantle plumes that are indeed "hot" could be caused by the presence of a thick mass of continental lithosphere trapping some of that heat and allowing it to accumulate, lowering the density of the mantle material beneath, and allowing it to rise (the analogy I like to use is if you take a book and leave it on top of an electric heating blanket, while exposing the rest of the blanket to the air...the area of blanket beneath the book will be much hotter than the rest of it after a few minutes). The East African mantle plume especially lends itself to this theory as Africa is this massive and, of the major plates, is the 4th-slowest moving, meaning it has been over one area of the plastic mantle for tens of millions of years. Features like the Siberian Traps, one of the world's biggest flood basalt plains (which is also thought to trace its source to a mantle plume) further confirm this idea, given that the Eurasian plate is moving at less than 1 cm per year, by far the slowest of the plates. North America is also slow-moving, and the Columbia River flood basalt plain, as well as the Yellowstone caldera are thought to be explained by their own mantle plume. But it's not all smooth-sailing. South America is also made of thick continental lithosphere, and moving very slowly, but it is bereft of hotspots. Plus, the plume under the Pacific ocean that has given rise to the Hawai'ian-Emperor island/seamount chain does actually appear to be much hotter than the surrounding mantle material...but it is underlain by a fast-moving, THIN oceanic plate. Why would this plate trap more heat than the thick continental crust beneath the Andes mountains, for example, giving rise to this phenomenon? So something else is going on here, and I don't think iron peroxide will be the last word on the subject (not by a long shot), though it may form part of the explanation, for SOME plumes, maybe. These things are perhaps the biggest mystery in the modern Earth Sciences; we can see them, we can see the impact they've had, we can trace that impact back through time for hundreds of millions of years. But that has gotten us no closer to determining their origin. Science is fun!
Now, is it possible there could be super massive caves down there too? If some sea water can get all the way down there, could there be some caves down there?
I love the theme song to SciShow. I haven’t watched this channel since I was 14 or 15 and watching this today I sang along the moment the music started
I mean, the Earth isn't a perfect sphere in the first place. You should know that by high school. And it's not a MAP, it's a diagram- a helpful illustration to demonstrate a concept. The concept isn't that everything in the Earth is perfectly spherical, but that the Earth has internal layers, which the diagram demonstrates accurately. This is like saying a Pie Chart should be a short cylinder instead of a flat circle, because pies are short cylinders. I know you guys can come up with better ways to give us cool information, instead of contriving this false premise. Yada, yada, clickbait, numbers- still can do better as a SCIENCE channel.
Well, you'd need a really high resolution to even begin to picture that Earth isn't a perfect sphere. It's more spherical than the most round objects we can actually produce.
chishionotenshi Thanks for saying this, I was thinking the same thing. It’s not a lie, it’s just simplified - well, duh, of course it is, it’s just meant to introduce the concept of different layers to laypeople and children. Electrons don’t orbit around a nucleus in the same way as planets around a star, but that doesnt mean that atomic diagrams are lies either. Disappointed that SciShow would use such clickbaity language which just feeds into a dangerous narrative of science being untrustworthy.
I never remember any teachers, professors, or books saying the layers were perfectly smooth and even. I never remember believing that either. There was no lie. I simply believed it was a diagram representing approximate internal layers, and that's what it was. Next, this channel will create a video telling us that renderings of the Milky Way galaxy are all a lie because they're not 100% accurate.
For those interested... " The new study showed that Earth's inner core is in a “superionic state,” made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, which, when combined and subjected to pressure and temperature, create a substance that is between a solid and a liquid. "
Idea, if it hasn't been done yet, make a movie or a video game where you're or the main character is one of the workers going to see what it truly is... someone probably already done that right? It sounds too good to pass on
I always assumed the perfect sphere representation was for ease of understanding for children. We don't need any more precise detail for the purpose it serves, and leaves new details for self directed learning.
When you said epicenter you showed the point inside the Earth. That wouldn't be the epicenter; the epicenter is the part on the surface. I don't know what the circle you showed, maybe the center or subcenter?
Epicentre can just mean centre - it's only in seismology that it specifically refers to a point on the surface. Edit: Apologies, hadn't made it to that point and they were actually talking about seismology at that point so your comment is entirely valid afaik
Typical science video in 2019: Remember everything you learned in school...? Yea, that was all a lie!!! Reactions in 2019 going into 2020 = am I really surprised?

The Diagram is not a Lie it's a simplified explanation for the General Public. To say that it is a lie is to insinuate that the creator of the Diagram is a lier, not an accurate statement from a channel that is supposed to be based on Scientific Truths. Please be more accurate in the future if you want to be taken seriously. ( This Diagram is Inaccurate ) would have been a better and more accurate description.
omg give them a break, they need the clickbaity titles for views in order to stay competitive in this youtube world. A boring( albeit more accurate title) might not get the clicks, and lead to a loss of viewers. I can see how having a title that is... incomplete might negatively impact the public's understanding of geology, but it is counteracted with the effect of increasing the # of people who learn(more clicks=more educated individuals on the topic). These people need the views to pay for their studios or present to bigger companies to renew their contracts. I believe that sciShow -- given their dedication to promoting the public awareness and understanding of science-- sees this approach as leading to a net positive for the world. In conclusion, "This Diagram of the Earth is Inaccurate" is not going to sell in the world of instant gratification and Kim Kardashian .
I get what you mean. In school, what we learn didn’t have to be gnats ass exact, just in the ballpark for teaching basic principles to developing minds. To say it’s a lie is a little harsh on the public education system. Better to say, “the layers of the earth aren’t exactly what you were taught”. Still gets interest but without the click-bate.
Thats what most of schooling is honestly. Theories and HUGE oversimplifications. And the public school system is also VERY biased with what they teach.
Science is a tool. WE determine truth or facts through observation and repeatable experiments. When something is found wrong it & we change our understanding to incorporate new knowledge. This is how it happily moves awareness forward. And it is the nature of man to seek knowledge and understanding.

Yes, we know electrons don't orbit the nucleus like planets, but it helps children conceptualize what atoms are. Then when you get to 10th/11th grade chemistry, you can go nuts with sp3 shells! LOL
@@OSUfirebird18 I disagree your basically making them learn the same thing all over again if its too complicated to teach in 5th grade teach it in 6th don't just teach the wrong thing because it's easier to explain now I think the model of the Earth is fine because for all intents and purposes your being taught the right thing just not all of the details while in your example your pretty much taught something that's false and then years later once the wrong way is firmly planted in your head you have to learn a whole new system and explanation. While in the Earth model everything you learned has been correct they just didn't put in some of the fine details because there no point in learning the Earth has bumps around it's core unless you're going to study that specifically
Oversimplication = lose information. I dont think anyone is expecting elementary school kids to know about random mantle protrusions, but it is interesting to know now that you're older no?
@@rememberme1731 You didn't even learn basic punctuation, so you have no right to speak on any aspect of education.
*learns a thing in school*
Scishow: WRONG
To be fair I did have alot of science classes that started out with "so most of this is wrong but it's on the test/lesson plan so..."
This actually explains a lot of stuff I was taught about the earth but didn't fully understand. You see, I was told that the Mariana Trench was continental plates returning to the mantle, but that the crust goes 24 miles down, not 20,000 ft. So this blob underneath the Pacific Ocean makes perfect sense.
3:13 I’ve wondered what caused that seemingly random hotspot in the middle of the ocean ever since I first learned about it. This hypothesis makes a lot of sense!
That makes sense. I don’t think I ever actually literally thought the layers where perfect spheres. Why would they be? Nothing else is that flat. Though I never thought much about it.
Real Donald Trump Well Mr. President, if you think back to the diagrams in school, those where explained as irregular spots of pressure, and heat on the mantle, with the mantle sliding around the top most layer. This video fills in the fact that irregularities between layers are responsible for the formation of those sort of anthill like structures in the mantle.that are outlets for pressure and heat.
My condolences about the impeachment, it’s kind of flimsy, and sets a bad precedent. Here’s hoping the inquiry comes up dry... Running the United States like the clumsy good old boy politics found in board rooms and private Galas is plain stupid though. You should’ve learned from the Dems in that matter. Discretion is valuable as you now know. But you never had any, why should your coterie?.The head school yard bully, is often not the head by merit, but rather because his underlings let him go first. Alas you thought you where the head because of your skill and cunning.
No one thought the inside of the Earth was perfect spheres. We know the diagram is just a simplistic explanation of the differing layers of the Earth. The only thing that this video brought to light was blogs the size of continents near the bottom of the mantel.
Yakarot Sennin Yes. I said that. That was the entire point of my comment.
Imma be real. I never thought they were perfect spheres, but I also didn't thought they weren't. I just knew there were different layers. I never gave it thought and I'm glad I know now for sure.
I cant even wrap my head around how much sea water simply gets swallowed up by gaps in the tectonic plates all the way down to the mantle and all the life that gets taking with it
I mean, I'm sure you can't, because nobody knows lol.
If the Earth does lose water that way, then it would be a new discovery. Our current state of knowledge is that the Earth only loses water in outer space, and receives a slightly smaller amount from comets and meteorites.
If the Earth did lose constantly vasts amount of water in the mantle, then we would have to revise our models... And it would be pretty concerning too, because there isn't that much water on the surface of Earth.
Same thing when it comes to life, as far as we know barely anything disappears that way.

That diagram is a model and it's as much a lie as the model of our solar system and other simple models we use in science.
As in, not really, it's just incomplete and there's much simplification going on.
Which you can then learn deeper at more advanced schools if it piqued your interest.
Though I guess "incomplete" is not as click-baity as "a lie".

Wait, they'd pick a title that would try to get folks to watch it?
Then I'm starting to think that my book "The story about a detective who eventually solves the murder" needs a better title.
People are seemingly too dumb to comprehend what a model is and that scientists try to simply things so that idiots might hopefully get a clue what they are trying to say. If everything was explained in Detail, these idiots would start moaning an bitching even more. These click baity titles only strenghen the anti science and anti school attitude of most people.
I learned the chemical composition way (crust, mantle, inner and outer cores) in elementary school, and then in middle school I learned the physical properties way (lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesophere, inner and outer cores)

Come on, they can say that it’s proof because it has to be uneven to fold map to make it appear to be round.
I’m still trying to figure out how we can get orbits and travel to work with popping over the edges of maps to make this flat earth exist. The round earth theory/fact is almost flawless.

As far as I remember our school books (southern Germany) actually showed irregularities. I mean of course: there has to be some, so vulcanos can exist. But those weren't two large objects, rather multiple smaller ones (like swirls and "channels", especially near vulcanos). It wasn't known back then. And I wouldn't include them in school books yet, since it's not totally understood and newer findings might show a different picture. So better keep simplified versions for kids.
Please don’t use clickbait. It’s not a lie, it’s an over simplification for the sake of learning. It’s extremely dangerous to keep saying things like “Everything you were taught in school about XYZ is a lie” or “Here’s what the science books WON’T teach you”. So, SO tired of seeing those sensationalist headlines. It really undermines our education system. This is supposed to be a science and learning channel.
The curse of RUclips. You have to use clickbait or many would not have even clicked on the video on the first place, causing a slow but never ending decline of views and the loss of relevancy of this channel. In short, sensatiobaliist headlines of slow (or fast) channel death.

Ya, like saying the diagram of the human anatomy is a lie.
Even Scishow descends into clickbait sometimes. Sad, but true.
@@stevenbrock528 “close” does not mean “is”. The diagrams are not lying or close to it, they are just an approximation of how the inner earth is organized. It’s like handing someone a sphere made of clay and being told that it isn’t because it has a tiny dent in it.
I just watched a video form a channel focusing on astronomy and it was said that Theia, the celestial body that collided with Earth and created the moon, is what these LLSV's are. Theia was a Mars sized body, part of it formed the moon, other parts sunk into the Earth's mantle because they were very dense. Apparently when we add the mass of the moon and the LLSV's mass, we roughly get a mass that correlates to an object like Theia. There's also no other celestial body that could be the remains of Theia (parts that didn't become the moon) so this hypothesis somewhat checks out.
Yeah, but elementary school me didn't need to know all that detail. Just a vague idea that would be refined as needed for my profession or by my interests.
jablue I don’t think the point of that section was that it shouldn’t be taught simply to elementary school students, but rather that most people haven’t heard anything else, and might still be under that impression years after elementary school. They are, as you said, refining people’s understanding by their interests, as in the people watching this video.

I've always found it amazing that we often know more about a planet millions of kilometers away while being baffled by the crust a few kilometers below the ocean or the layers beneath it.
Except when it comes to Geology, we *don’t* know more about any other planet more than we know about Earth. Until we get humans to Mars and run various tests, we have yet to learn as much as we have about Earth’s insides. It’ll be interesting once we get there to learn how similar Mar’s mantle is to Earth’s.

For a while it's clear to me that the vision of earth as a solid object is quite flawed. Pretty much everything about the Earth below 50km is more or less just molten rock and metal. Another quite flawed perception of Earth is the Earth as a spheroid or whatever.
The difference between the poles and the equator is just about 70km which compared to the diameter of the Earth is negligible. If compared to a soccer ball, the crevices between the sections of a soccer ball scaled up to the size of the earth, would be hundreds of kilometers deep. Oceans would be only present in these crevices while the rest of the surface will be a mountainous desert.
I know you were just using it for comparison, but now I'm gonna spend the rest of the day imagining society, transportation and agriculture on the soccer ball planet.

I think that the red color is used to denote the temperature of the mantle (1000 degrees celsius!), not the composition. We know that the composition is high in silicates, which is an ingredient in olivine (a green/black mineral) and pyroxene that form Peridotite, the green rock you're thinking of.

#mantleismadeofdietcokeconfirmed
It is refreshing to watch a video that doesn't make the mistake of claiming that the mantle is a vast ocean of molten rock feeding all of the Earth's volcanoes. That's still something kids learn in school (which I discovered to my consternation, in a previous life as a university geology prof), but the idea really needs to die. It's not over-complicating matters to tell kids the truth (rather than giving them a fantasy that we've known to be false for many decades). Magma forms due to one of two main processes, in the upper mantle. Either a slab of subducting oceanic crust brings hydrated minerals (and perhaps water under extremely high temperatures and pressures) into the mantle, where it leaves the crust and lowers the melting point of the minerals in the mantle above the subducting slab, enabling it to PARTIALLY melt. Being liquid, it has a lower density than the surrounding solid rock, and therefore has a tendency to be more buoyant, forcing its way through the mantle, the tectonic plate, and possibly all the way to the surface of the Earth, forming a volcano. OR, convection currents in the solid mantle (or these mantle plumes) bring hot, solid rock from deep in the mantle to shallower locations. The reduction in pressure, without a reduction in temperature of a similar scale, allows the solid material to partially melt, and continue to rise as magma through the mantle, and lithospheric plates, to possibly form a volcano. You don't have to invoke phase diagrams or related concepts (like what a solidus is) to explain this. Just teach that matter can change phases due to changes in composition, temperature and pressure, and that the rock in the Earth's mantle behaves a bit like wax, or Play-Doh, subject to moving around while remaining solid.
As for these plumes of low-velocity material (commonly called mantle plumes), they're weird. They're also not all the same. Some of them do appear to contain thermal anomalies (seemingly vindicating the nomenclature assigned to them: "hotspot"), but others appear no hotter than the surrounding mantle material. Furthermore, because of the heat being produced within the Earth (due primarily to the radioactive decay of isotopes that were trapped in the Earth during its formation), some have theorized that the mantle plumes that are indeed "hot" could be caused by the presence of a thick mass of continental lithosphere trapping some of that heat and allowing it to accumulate, lowering the density of the mantle material beneath, and allowing it to rise (the analogy I like to use is if you take a book and leave it on top of an electric heating blanket, while exposing the rest of the blanket to the air...the area of blanket beneath the book will be much hotter than the rest of it after a few minutes). The East African mantle plume especially lends itself to this theory as Africa is this massive and, of the major plates, is the 4th-slowest moving, meaning it has been over one area of the plastic mantle for tens of millions of years. Features like the Siberian Traps, one of the world's biggest flood basalt plains (which is also thought to trace its source to a mantle plume) further confirm this idea, given that the Eurasian plate is moving at less than 1 cm per year, by far the slowest of the plates. North America is also slow-moving, and the Columbia River flood basalt plain, as well as the Yellowstone caldera are thought to be explained by their own mantle plume.
But it's not all smooth-sailing. South America is also made of thick continental lithosphere, and moving very slowly, but it is bereft of hotspots. Plus, the plume under the Pacific ocean that has given rise to the Hawai'ian-Emperor island/seamount chain does actually appear to be much hotter than the surrounding mantle material...but it is underlain by a fast-moving, THIN oceanic plate. Why would this plate trap more heat than the thick continental crust beneath the Andes mountains, for example, giving rise to this phenomenon? So something else is going on here, and I don't think iron peroxide will be the last word on the subject (not by a long shot), though it may form part of the explanation, for SOME plumes, maybe. These things are perhaps the biggest mystery in the modern Earth Sciences; we can see them, we can see the impact they've had, we can trace that impact back through time for hundreds of millions of years. But that has gotten us no closer to determining their origin. Science is fun!

Ok but how did they put trump in a peach

You guys are great!
I hope every kid in the world gets your stuff.
I mean, the Earth isn't a perfect sphere in the first place. You should know that by high school. And it's not a MAP, it's a diagram- a helpful illustration to demonstrate a concept. The concept isn't that everything in the Earth is perfectly spherical, but that the Earth has internal layers, which the diagram demonstrates accurately. This is like saying a Pie Chart should be a short cylinder instead of a flat circle, because pies are short cylinders.
I know you guys can come up with better ways to give us cool information, instead of contriving this false premise. Yada, yada, clickbait, numbers- still can do better as a SCIENCE channel.
Well, you'd need a really high resolution to even begin to picture that Earth isn't a perfect sphere. It's more spherical than the most round objects we can actually produce.
chishionotenshi Thanks for saying this, I was thinking the same thing. It’s not a lie, it’s just simplified - well, duh, of course it is, it’s just meant to introduce the concept of different layers to laypeople and children. Electrons don’t orbit around a nucleus in the same way as planets around a star, but that doesnt mean that atomic diagrams are lies either. Disappointed that SciShow would use such clickbaity language which just feeds into a dangerous narrative of science being untrustworthy.
I never remember any teachers, professors, or books saying the layers were perfectly smooth and even. I never remember believing that either. There was no lie. I simply believed it was a diagram representing approximate internal layers, and that's what it was. Next, this channel will create a video telling us that renderings of the Milky Way galaxy are all a lie because they're not 100% accurate.
"and with every new image" then proceeds to only show a study image from the 1970's.

Cariss Stewart Yeah, it’s crazy how they simplify it for elementary school kids. 🙄🙄
I always assumed the perfect sphere representation was for ease of understanding for children. We don't need any more precise detail for the purpose it serves, and leaves new details for self directed learning.
When you said epicenter you showed the point inside the Earth.
That wouldn't be the epicenter; the epicenter is the part on the surface.
I don't know what the circle you showed, maybe the center or subcenter?
Epicentre can just mean centre - it's only in seismology that it specifically refers to a point on the surface.
Edit: Apologies, hadn't made it to that point and they were actually talking about seismology at that point so your comment is entirely valid afaik
What you refer to at 1:09 and what is drawn in the animation is a hypocentre. Epicentres are at the surface above the hypocentre.

would have been a better and more accurate description.
omg give them a break, they need the clickbaity titles for views in order to stay competitive in this youtube world. A boring( albeit more accurate title) might not get the clicks, and lead to a loss of viewers. I can see how having a title that is... incomplete might negatively impact the public's understanding of geology, but it is counteracted with the effect of increasing the # of people who learn(more clicks=more educated individuals on the topic). These people need the views to pay for their studios or present to bigger companies to renew their contracts. I believe that sciShow -- given their dedication to promoting the public awareness and understanding of science-- sees this approach as leading to a net positive for the world. In conclusion, "This Diagram of the Earth is Inaccurate" is not going to sell in the world of instant gratification and Kim Kardashian .
I get what you mean. In school, what we learn didn’t have to be gnats ass exact, just in the ballpark for teaching basic principles to developing minds. To say it’s a lie is a little harsh on the public education system. Better to say, “the layers of the earth aren’t exactly what you were taught”. Still gets interest but without the click-bate.
