Structure of the Earth Structure of the Earth The internal structure of the Earth is layered in spherical shells: an outer silicate solid crust, a highly viscous asthenosphere and mantle, a liquid outer core that is much less viscous than the mantle, and a solid inner core. Scientific understanding of the internal structure of the Earth is based on observations of topography and bathymetry, observations of rock in outcrop, samples brought to the surface from greater depths by volcanoes or volcanic activity, analysis of the seismic waves that pass through the Earth, measurements of the gravitational and magnetic fields of the Earth, and experiments
Core-and-pod kind of large and wide tree, with many “branches,” or pods, off the main “trunk,” or core. Core-and-pod Core-and-pod design is a network design that uses individual pods that hang off the core layer as atomic units. Within the pod, there may be only a single access layer or a “leaf and spine” network in the pod. The routed core layer serves as a fast and simple way to connect many generations of pods to each other. When the “leaf and spine” network is used within the pod, the core layer can be referred to as the “spine of spines,”
