ГЛАВА 3. ТЕКСТЫ 3.1.The underworld

Let us take a brief look at the planet on which we live. As Earth hurtles through space at a speed of 70,000 miles an hour, it spins, as we all know, on its axis, which causes it to be flattened at the Poles. Thus if you were to stand at sea level at the North or South Pole you would be 13 miles nearer the centre of the earth than if you stood on the Equator.

The earth is made up of three major layers - a central core, probably metallic, some 4000 miles across, a surrounding layer of compressed rock, and to top it all a very thin skin of softer rock, only about 20 to 40 miles thick - that's about as thin as the skin of an apple, talking in relative terms.

The pressure on the central core is unimaginable. It has been calculated that at the centre it is 60 million pounds to the square inch, and this at a temperature of perhaps 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The earth's interior, therefore, would seem to be of liquid metal - and evidence for this is given by the behaviour of earthquakes.

When an earthquake occurs, shock waves radiate from the centre just as waves radiate outwards from the point where a stone drops into a pond. And these waves pulsate through the earth's various layers. Some waves descend vertically and pass right through the earth, providing evidence for the existence of the core and an indication that it is fluid rather than solid. Thus, with their sensitive instruments, the scientists who study earthquakes, the seismologists, can in effect X-ray the earth.

Northern India, and more especially that part of Northern Pakistan known as Baluchistan, is a particularly active seismic area. In Baluchistan one of the greatest earthquake disasters of modem times occurred, in 1935, when the town of Quetta was destroyed and 30,000 people lost their lives. Today, Quetta is the home of a geophysical observatory where scientists make a special study of earthquakes. One of the practical tasks of these seismologists in Quetta has been to calculate ways of making buildings safe against earthquake tremors, and nowadays all houses in the town are built according to seven approved designs. As a result, in a great earthquake near Quetta only a few years ago, practically all the buildings stood up and no lives were lost.

Iceland is one of the most active volcanic regions of the world. And it was to Iceland that Jules Verne sent the hero of his book A Journey to the Centre of the Earth. This intrepid explorer clambered down the opening of an extinct volcano and followed its windings until he reached the earth's core. There he found great oceans, and continents with vegetation. This conception of a hollow earth we now know to be false. In the 100 years since Jules Verne published his book, the science of vulcanology, as it is called, has made great strides. But even so the deepest man has yet penetrated is about 10,000 feet. This hole, the Robinson Deep mine in South Africa, barely scratches the surface; so great is the heat at 10,000 feet that were it not for an elaborate airconditioning system, the miners working there would be roasted. Oil borings down to 20,000 feet have shown that the deeper they go, the hotter it becomes.

The temperature of the earth at the centre is estimated to be anything between 3,000 and 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Some scientists believe that this tremendous heat is caused by the breaking-down of radio-active elements, which release large amounts of energy and compensate for the loss of heat from the earth's surface. If this theory is correct, then we are all living on top of a natural atomic powerhouse.

Multiple choice

Read the passage carefully, then answer the following questions. Choose the response which best reflects the meaning of the text.

1.The outer layer of the Earth is compared to the skin of an apple because

a)it is only 20 to 40 miles thick.

b)it is thin in proportion to the Earth's mass.

c)it is relatively thin compared with the central core.

d)it is softer than the other layers.

2.Which of the following is not true?

It is thought that the interior of the Earth is not solid because

a)there is great pressure at the centre.

b)earthquake waves can move vertically.

c)the outer layer is made of rock.

d)the heat at the centre is too great.
