Earth S Interior Map
The model shows mantle plumes where the hot rock flows starting at the bottom of the core to mantle boundary and climbing to the top where they connect to volcanic hotspots in the earth s crust.

To map earth s interior geologists use a network of seismometers to chart seismic waves that originate in the earth s crust and ricochet around its interior most rapidly traveling through cold. They ve analyzed paths of seismic waves and based on that created the first ever detailed 3d map of the earth s interior.
Dense regions and slower through hotter rocks. Computer simulations use the speed of seismic waves from earthquakes to. With creation tools you can draw on the map add your photos and videos customize your view and share and collaborate with others.
