Inaccessible Earth
First published in 1981, The Inaccessible Earth traces the establishment of the Rarth''s layered structure and explains how its density at depth is deduced from seismic and gravitational data. Density is the prime constraint on chemical composition which is deduced also by reference to theories of stellar evolution and planetary accretion, combined with evidence from the solar spectrum and meteori...
