What’s Inside ?
-Rocks from inside Earth give geologists clues about earths structure. -This is direct evidence. Something you can physically observe. Geologists.
What’s Inside?. The Earth’s Core – Almost as hot as the surface of the sun (due to radioactive decay) Escape of this inner heat drives geological activity.
