Molten Young Earth

Open to everyone until Tuesday, September 29

To keep it, print it while it is open.

The young Earth was a hot, glowing ball of rock. Impacts and heat from inside kept its surface molten for a very long time.

In the picture

  1. Glowing molten rock in a surface crack: heat escaping from inside the young Earth.
  2. A rocky body hitting the surface: an impact that adds heat.
  3. A wide molten pool: surface rock kept liquid by heat.

Examples

  • Rubbing your hands together makes them warm.
  • A pot on a hot stove stays hot.
