RMT95495–A plate from the atlas of Alexander von Humboldt's Kosmos, illustrating the composition of the Earth's crust via color-coding. Between 1799 and 1804, Prussian geographer, naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) travelled extensively in Latin America, exploring and describing it for the first time in a manner generally considered to be a modern scientific point of view. His quantitative work on botanical geography laid the foundation for the field of biogeography.

RFM6CXBN–Diagram showing the interior of the Earth's Moon. The outermost layer, the crust, is about 45 miles (70 km) thick. This is thicker than the Earth's crust, which cooled down at a much slower rate. Beneath the crust is a thick silicate mantle, then a zone of partial melt with a radius of 480 km. This is probably where moonquakes occur. Current thinking, based on a re-examination of Apollo lunar seismometer data, is that the core, once thought solid, is now composed of a liquid outer component (330 km radius) and a solid inner one (240 km).

RMK22CXY–At certain specific spots on the planet, pockets of magma from Earth’s lower mantle (the layer located above the outer core) rise to the surface very slowly, break through Earth’s crust, and produce volcanic massifs in the middle of lithospheric plates. These hot spots are immobile; the rows of volcanoes that they create attest to the movement of the tectonic plate above them.
RM2BEHA67–Earth's structure. Cut-away artwork of the internal structure of the Earth. Below the Earth's crust, a zone of near-molten rock called the mantle extends down to 2900 kilometers (km). Beneath the mantle is the nickel-iron core. It is about 7000 km across. The outer core (yellow) is molten and the inner core (orange) is solid. The temperature at the core may be over 5000 degrees Celsius.

RM2B038NC–Abraham Gottlob Werner (25 September 1749 – 30 June 1817) was a German geologist who set out an early theory about the stratification of the Earth's crust and propounded a history of the Earth that came to be known as Neptunism. While most tenets of Neptunism were eventually set aside, Werner is remembered for his demonstration of chronological succession in rocks; for the zeal with which he infused his pupils; and for the impulse he thereby gave to the study of geology. He has been called the 'father of German geology'.

RM2A2M2JD–Bacteria, Print, Bacteria are a type of biological cell. They constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria have a number of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals. Bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most of its habitats. Bacteria inhabit soil, water, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, and the deep portions of Earth's crust. Bacteria also live in symbiotic and parasitic relationships with plants and animals. Most bacteria have not been characterised, and only about 27 percent
RMKJ1GE8–Tellurium is a chemical element with symbol Te and atomic number 52. It is a brittle, mildly toxic, rare, silver-white metalloid. Tellurium is chemically related to selenium and sulphur. It is occasionally found in native form as elemental crystals. Tellurium is far more common in the universe as a whole than on Earth. Its extreme rarity in the Earth's crust, comparable to that of platinum, is due partly to its high atomic number, but also to its formation of a volatile hydride which caused it to be lost to space as a gas during the hot nebular formation of the planet.

RMK22C9F–Earth’s crust is entirely made up of different kinds of rocks. Although they may appear solid and indestructible, rocks change continuously over time, forming, deforming, and transforming into other kinds.of rock. They may be pushed deep inside the planet only to resurface later on. In this way, rocks are recycled by nature, in a complex process that may last millions of years. Some rocks, like the very first ones that appeared on Earth, were formed from magma, a fiery liquid rock buried in the planet’s mantle. Some formed out of other kinds of rocks that already existed.
RMT96HKC–René Descartes theory of the formation of mountains and oceans; the layers include the earth's crust (E), air (F), water (D), and metals (C). Principia Philosophiae, 1644. René Descartes (March 31, 1596 - February 11, 1650) was a French mathematician, philosopher and physiologist. Living on his modest inherited wealth, Descartes traveled, studied, wrote, and served as a soldier in Holland, Bohemia and Hungary.

RMW0M9YA–A single mass of granite, clearly visible in this NASA photograph, punched through the Earth's crust over 120 million years ago to create a mountain in northern Namibia near the heart of the Namib Desert. The mountain, called ' Daures', or the 'burning mountain' by Namibians, rises high above the arid desert and a ring of dark, jagged rocks forced up during the mountain's arrival encircles the granite rock.

RFM6CXC2–The Sun as a red giant. Earth begins to melt as the red-giant Sun swells and approaches our planet's orbit. Eventually the melting may penetrate throughout Earth's crust, leaving the planet molten from surface to core. The fate of the Earth is unclear. It may become engulfed by the Sun, or it may move to a safe orbit as the Sun sheds mass at the end of its life.
