Earths centre, computer artwork

Earths centre, computer artwork. The Earth has an equatorial diameter of 12, 756 kilometres. The orange centre here could represent the mantle, a layer between the outer core (not seen) and the surface crust (transparent). The mantle is a highly viscous liquid composed of silicate rocks, on which the solid plates of the crust float

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork print titled "Earth's Centre" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the depths of our planet. With its vibrant orange hues, it offers a visual representation of Earth's internal structure and geography. At the heart of this image lies the mantle, an essential layer sandwiched between the unseen outer core and transparent surface crust. The mantle is depicted as a highly viscous liquid composed of silicate rocks, upon which the solid plates of the crust float. Its molten nature plays a crucial role in shaping our planet's development and structure. As we gaze at this artwork, we are reminded of Earth's immense size, with an equatorial diameter stretching 12,756 kilometers. It evokes wonder about how such intricate layers interact to create diverse landscapes and geological formations across continents like South America. The resemblance to an egg yolk adds another intriguing element to this illustration—symbolic perhaps of life emerging from within Earth itself. This thought-provoking piece invites contemplation on our planet's mysteries while showcasing its beauty through artistry. Science Photo Library has once again captured both scientific accuracy and artistic brilliance in their portrayal of Earth’s inner workings. This print serves as a reminder that beneath our feet lies a complex world waiting to be explored—a testament to the marvels that exist beyond what meets the eye.
