Have you tried to dig a deep hole? So deep that you could dig all the way to the other side of the Earth? It's pretty hard, and lots of people have tried. So what's stopping us from digging through the Earth? It has something to do with...

Structure Of The Earth & Its Different Layers | Environmental Chemistry | Chemistry | FuseSchool Learn the basics about Structure of the Earth and the composition its different layers. How was the Earth created? What elements is it made...

For years, geologists have been searching for an explanation for two strange blobs of Earth's mantle that are denser than the rest. It turns out, they may not be original parts of Earth at all.

We just learned about all the layers of the Earth, but how did we accumulate this information? How do we know the composition of these layers and the depths at which they occur? The answer is seismology! Let's learn about the different...

We only interact with the very surface of the Earth, called the crust. So what else is down there? What is the composition of the Earth? How many layers are there, and how do they differ? What is the mantle, and how does it convect? What...

We all know that the Earth is huge, but what is it made of? Join Jessi and Squeaks for a fun activity to learn about Earth's layers, and to make your own model of Earth!

Researchers estimate ancient temperatures using data from climate proxy records, i.e., indirect methods to measure temperature through natural archives, such as coral skeletons, tree rings, glacial ice cores, and so on. For example, the...

When a theory makes a prediction that disagrees with an experimental test, sometimes it means we should throw the theory away. But what if that theory has otherwise produced the most successful predictions in all of physics? Then, that...

On March 29, 2014, an X-class flare burst off the right side of the sun . . . and NASA was watching.



Coordinating their observations, five NASA observatories and one ground-based telescope were able to see things...

From treetops to rivers to the bedrock below, there is constant activity going on in what we can think of as the “skin” of our planet. It’s called the critical zone, the active layer of the Earth where life-forms, from microbes to...

If you're in the market for a planet and size is your top priority, there's only one game in town, and that's Jupiter. Jupiter is significantly larger than all the other seven planets combined. The Romans didn't know how big it was when...

Learn about the two main layers of the atmosphere: the troposphere and the stratosphere. The troposphere is full of weather and ‘bad’ ozone, and above that, is the stratosphere, where ‘good’ ozone protects us against dangerous UV light....

Scientists are closely monitoring positive signs of recovery of the Earth’s stratospheric ozone layer, which is depleted by the use of chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) for a range of industrial and commercial purposes. Even...

Friendly and fun host Max Orbit asks questions about the world and searches for answers. This DVD series is designed to engage students while introducing scientific principles and concepts in a fun and entertaining way. Viewers will come...

Celebrate Earth Day with our interactive “Earth Day Vocabulary Talking Flashcards with Cause and Effect Quiz”! 🌍✨

Join us on a journey to deepen your connection with our planet. This engaging video is perfect for...

Squeaks built a pretend time machine, and he and Mister Brown use their imaginations to travel back in time to learn all about the very first living thing!

Over its lifetime, the Earth has seen plenty of climate change. About 50 million years ago the planet experienced extreme cooling, and all from a little fern.

Antarctica is a vast and dynamic place, but radar technologies -- from World War II-era film to state-of-the-art miniaturized sensors -- are enabling scientists to observe and understand changes beneath the continent's ice in...

Waves & The Earth - S & P waves | Astrophysics | Physics | FuseSchool In this video you are going to learn how we used earthquakes to look deep into the earth. The study of S and P waves helped us understand that the Earth has a layered...

The iridium anomaly. 550 metres beneath the Earth's surface there exists a thin layer of space rock. Often taken as evidence of an extraterrestrial impact event resulting in the extinction of the dinosaurs, along with about 70% of all...

Astronomers using data from the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton satellite have found a long-sought X-ray signal from NGC 4151, a galaxy that contains a supermassive black hole. The discovery promises a new way to unravel what's...

In this video we will looks at what allotropes are, and different examples of them. The term allotrope refers to different forms of the same element. Diamond and graphite are made of only carbon atoms – yet they exhibit very different...
