Molten Earth: Whether Cold Outside or Warm, the Furnace in the Earth is Always On
As the temperature on our planet's surface changes, the weather of the inner earth creates earthquakes, volcanoes, oceans, and a really huge magnet. We will learn about the layers of the Earth and how they interact to create some of nature's most amazing moments.
