CONTENTS
Your mission plan:
Your mission introduction; meet the GeoPod – your mission vehicle. Use the GeoPod to analyse rocks to discover how old they are and what they tell you about Earth's history. Discover the basic Earth vital stats you need to know before you star your journey. Stay on earthquake alert – find out about the world's plates, seismic waves and earthquake zones.
Begin your journey:
Start your journey from space and learn about the key layers in the Earth's atmosphere. From here you have two entry points to the centre: - Down the throat of a volcano to get to the Earth's mantle, or down through the sea to get to the Earth's crust. Here's where you'll get to tour the Earth's crust – learn about plate boundaries and underwater ocean ridges, discover caves, geysers and go fossil hunting!
Going deeper:
Tick off the top three underground experiences in the lithosphere before heading into the magma. This is known as the mantle layer, watch out for Magma chambers! Here you can surf the mantle and find out where the Earth's hotspots are. Then enter the outer core – as you get closer to the centre, you can learn about the Earth's magnetic field; As you approach the inner core you can find out what it's made of, and read some other theories about what's at the centre of the Earth.
Mission accomplished:
You made it! How was your trip? Here's some tips for your return journey, and some extra information to keep you going.
