What If: Science, Theory, and Possibilities episodes
What If the Earth Had No Core?
•
Deep beneath Earth's crust and mantle lies its core, formed during the Iron Catastrophe—a major geological event where Earth was heated above iron’s melting point. Would a coreless Earth be sustainable? Could humans survive on an Earth without a core? What kind of environment would exist on such a planet?
