Exploring the Layers of the Earth

The video explores the depths of Earth, from its crust to its core. It discusses various geological features and depths, such as the Earth's crust, mantle, and core, and compares them to known structures like the Burj Khalifa and Mount Everest. The video also explains how geologists study these layers using rock samples and energy waves, highlighting the vastness of Earth compared to human structures.
