Humanity is missing something, not knowing about the mantle currents within the Earth. Here is a drawing for explanation:
The globe and the mantle current pattern within it
This is a beginning, as the layers of inner core, outer core and mantle are shown. The same laws of physics are used for the analysis for all the layers. Measurements and physics fit together! In other words: The measured thickness of each of Earth’s layers does match with an arrangement of convection rolls. These rolls are expected to form according to the laws of physics, namely convection within a rotating globe.
I am a geologist, graduated from the University of Iceland, and taught geology for a few years. I have gained some knowledge about Earth's inner structure, so I provide this website as my contribution to answer one of the greatest questions remaining within the realm of geoscience. Experiments show that the mantle should form convection rolls when close to the melting point. I took this literally, and calculated the dimensions and shape of these mantle convection rolls. Then I compare that model with the surface. This makes it possible to provide many interesting examples about geology found on my blog.
