There are many different layers within the Earth. The core is at center of the Earth. The Earth’s core takes up sixteen percent of Earth’s volume‚ containing thirty-three percent of its Mass ..Pressure rises steadily inside the earth because of the weight of overlying rock. Therefore ‚the Pressure at the outer boundary of the core reaches 1.37 million atmospheres‚ 3.7 million Atmospheres. The core is made mostly of iron and nickel and possibly smaller amounts of lighter elements including sulfur

At the core-mantle boundary‚ composition changes. Seismic waves suggest this material is of a very high density (10-13 g/cm3)‚ which can only correspond to a configuration of metals rather than rock. The presence of a magnetic field around the earth also indicates a molten metallic core. Unlike the crust and the mantle‚ we don’t have any samples

soil will vary geographically and at different soil depths. Moisture content changes seasonally‚ varies according to the nature of the sub layers of earth‚ and the depth of the permanent water table. Since soil and water are generally more stable at deeper strata‚ it is recommended that the ground rods be placed as deep as possible into the earth‚ at the water table if possible. Also‚ ground rods should be installed where there is a stable temperature‚ i.e. below the frost line. For a grounding
