The Time for Geography team are in Iceland! Together with Iceland experts from Swansea University, Keele University and Trex - Travel Experiences, we investigate how processes deep in the Earth shape the landscapes of our planet!
In this video, we team up with tectonics expert Dr Rhian Meara, to explore the layered structure of the planet Earth:
- • Solid inner core
- • Liquid outer core
- • Mantle (Mesosphere, asthenosphere and lithosphere)
- • The crust
