A rock plunged 90 kilometers into Earth and revealed something unexpected
A rock fell into the Earth in Papua New Guinea and scientists were surprised by what they found. The temperature patterns inside the Earth are more complicated than previously thought. This discovery could lead to a new understanding of earthquakes, volcanoes, and how the planet's surface moves.
Why it's good news: It has the potential to improve our understanding of geological events that can affect people's lives.
