Dr. Phil's Short Story

There are two main ways scientists learn about Earth’s Interior. The first way is, of rock samples. Scientists use drills to get as close as they can to get to the center of the earth, they also looked at rocks that spat out of volcanos during a volcanic explosion. The second way is, because of seismic waves. They study how seismic waves travel through Earth, seismic waves are vibrations that travel through Earth carrying energy, released during an earthquake. Those were the two main ways how scientists learned about Earth’s interior.

Day 38: Some features that have made it difficult to get through the crust and mantle are that the crust is semi solid and the mantle is solid. This is difficult because we are not able to easily get through it. Now as I'm thinking about it I should have attached a bigger drill to the shop. This isn't as easy I

“For Angelica Gallegos, the worst part has been going without a shower for five months” (Source 2). “Juan de La Cruz works on this rig 12 hours a day, seven days a week, carefully guiding the drill bit. He’s standing in a little hut next to the drill hole that they call ‘the dog house.’ It’s where workers keep a log of the layers of sand and clay, they find, collecting samples every ten feet as the drill probes deeper” (Source 3).

What is interesting about this paper is the author’s purpose. It seems as though he is attempting to raise awareness and support geophysics. However, all the points he brings up to discuss he quickly refutes with dangers. This confuses the reader as the article is more intimidating rather than informational. The overwhelming sense of danger associated with each

“Okay sounds good.” I say and wave while I walk with the paramedic. We get in the car, and start driving down the mountain. We get to the hospital 30 minutes later, and we get in and the paramedic explains what happened, and they take me a room right away. The doctor walks in a few minutes later, and he starts asking me basic questions. Like what happened, where did it happen, whom were you with, wtc...We then walk to another room which was the x-ray room. The doctor takes a couple x-rays to see what had happened. He walks out of the little room within the x-ray room with a folder in his hand. He has a somewhat saddened, and disappointed look on his face. He walks over to me and shows me the x-rays… I look at them, and i’m not sure what i’m looking for. But i can tell it’s not

In Naica, Mexico, a cave system is found to hold some secrets to the Earth. What is described to look like something out of fairy tales has NASA scientists excited.

He set me up perfectly with his last answer for my next question, have you ever been mistreated by a patient? Being that Beyoncé is always loud, he laughed humorously and told me there had been a couple of times this has happened to him. He wouldn’t stop laughing and told me I was not going to believe this story. I told him I couldn’t wait to hear it but he kept me hanging as he continued to snicker. He hunched over and looked around us and leaned closer to me as he talked in a softer voice. “One day a man in his 30s came in and kept saying he was smarter than me and he knew more about his body and how it works then me.” He rolled his eyes as he mocked this man. “The argument got so far that the man set up a challenge to see who was the smartest.

Within the layers of rock that form the Grand Canyon, a story is tolled of its own creation, a story that also gives us a great deal of understanding of the geological progress of the world to its present state.

“Why is my life so boring?” Renaldo was thinking about how his life could possibly be more adventurous before he went to sleep. “Wouldn’t it be pretty cool if I was, like, abducted by aliens or something?” Renaldo had no idea of the irony of that statement. “ Well, There goes another boring, gloomy day...” Renaldo thought as he drifts off into sleep.

DePaolo, Edward, and Thomas, all professors and researchers of geology study hotspot volcanoes, and their impact on Hawaii. Their study is based on a major drilling project based in Hawaii. Drilling is a crucial aspect of gaining insight on volcanoes, because it provides samples of lava, which then provides information about Earth’s mantle. Scientists can then retrieve information from the mantle, such as the age of the volcano and its temperature. Experts say that drilling could be valuable for collecting information about other volcanoes and their mantles.

There is an adventurer named Chris Red. Chris red is a very curious adventurer. He wants to know what is in the layers of earth. So one day, he went through the oceanic crust to see.

The terror of his awakening to a world that he knew wasn’t his own. A world not like anything he had ever seen before. He remembered the sarcophagus, or whatever it had been, that he found himself encapsulated inside. He remembered its glass partition window and the bright lights which had hung from high above on the other side. The way his hands felt when they touched one another, cold and strange. How the feel of his flesh was somehow different. It was as if he was experiencing his own body for the first time. And, he recalled the tubing. The plastic piping that nearly choked him as he tried to breathe. It descended from being attached to one of the sidewalls of the pod and it reached deep inside him, running through his mouth, then down into his belly. Serpent-like, Phillip could feel it weave like a tree root that had slowly grown to take hold and burrow itself through the cracks of a cement infrastructure. He had grasped at it as he felt himself begin to gag over how suffuse it was. Pulling it forcefully, it came up from his esophagus like a worm being pulled from the earth. He then coughed harshly as the tube exited him and with it, he spit saliva and mucus which were then deposited on the shadowy floor of the

Surprisingly, the clay held almost 30 times more iridium than the limestone layers above and below the clay. Similar layers in other parts of the world gave the same results. The conclusion was that a giant meteorite hit the Earth 65 million years ago and had released a large
