A list of puns related to "Earth's mantle"
What kind of technology/engineering would we need to do so?
I originally saw this on a VHS as a child, likely a compilation of Canada NFB children's shorts or similar. I've gone through the NFB Catalogue to no avail.
The premise (as I recall) was a human society lived underground in a series of caves and lava tubes, surrounded by magma. Two (I think) kids were exploring the caves and discovered the magma they lived beside was rising, threatening their entire existence. They had to make an escape to the surface, which was only known by legend. Only the children made it to the surface, but they were greeted by a tropical utopia, with a view of the sun rising over the ocean and surrounded by lush plants, and that's where it ended.
The style was reminiscent of The Snowman or similar 80s children's animated shorts. I thought it was from Canada NFB, but I think that I may just be conflating the VHS is was on with another from my childhood. I would have seen it in the late 90s, but I can't date the release of the short.
Beyond searching the NFB Catalogue, I've done searches for all those keywords (children, mamga, underground, escape, animated, NFB, short, film, etc.) in various permutations and combinations.
So I did a bit of research, and one expedition stated there was tissue more than 20 kilometers down. The crust in Texas doesnβt go past 40 kilometers. Given the sheer size of the thing, it likely goes down another 20 km into the mantle.
E: I don't mean convection driving tectonic activity, I mean the entire mass of the mantle.spinning around on the liquid outer core if that makes sense
We just weren't expecting a health bar to appear upon contact.
Also, what is meant by liquid, viscous? Are we talking water-like liquid, oily/gelly-like for viscous?
Does this require movement of mass, so you get friction, or is there another mechanism?
