Theory Of Earth's interior.

For the best essay on the earth's In.
terror the University of Jena has
awarded prize to M. Theme, whose
theory is thus outlined: The mean
density OF the earth is known to be
more than FIVE times that of water. Az
the surface rocks have an average
density of only 21k and water of 1. the
interior must have a density of about
7.7-that of iron. 1t is fairly certain
also that the rigidity is slightly great
er than that of steel. He concludes
that the earth's crust is about $50
miles thick, instead of the 80 miles OF
the common estimate, and that 1t in
closes very dense and rigid core that
he calls barysphere.
