This is my world. Earth sciences, exploring our planet and my mineralogical collection

What is it that holds the world together at its very core? If we are to make long-term use of ores, water and energy resources, we need to understand precisely that. What is the Earth made of, and how did it come into being? What processes take place within and on its surface? How do we know this?
