Earth’s magnetic field (collection)
A graphics collection representing multiple interesting aspects related to the Earth’s magnetic field.
Accurate and accessible science graphics, including illustration and data visualisation, of our lovely planet Earth. Dive into observations and models of the Earth to learn more about, understand, and appreciate it as our one home.
Earth’s magnetic field (overview)
Schematics outlining key elements of the Earth’s magnetic field that is produced in the hot, liquid Outer Core, varies in strength, and even reverses multiple times through the planet’s evolution.
Planetary spheres art
100-km depth contours outline the basic radial compositional structure of the planetary interiors of Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.
Surface topography cross-section art
The global bedrock relief model of the Earth’s surface along the equator integrating land topography and ocean bathymetry reveals the vastness of the ocean depths.
Planetary spheres
The interiors of rocky planets and the Moon represented by 100-km depth contours outlining the basic compositional structure.
Earth’s mantle heterogeneity theories
Conceptual model sketches for proposed compositional structures of Earth's mantle, including "Marble cake", "Thermo-chemical piles", and "Mid-mantle blobs" theories.
Earth Sciences advance
Simplified 2-D depth-time diagram representing how the Earth Sciences advance through direct and indirect observations, and physical and conceptual modelling.
Subduction earthquakes (crosssection)
Vertical crosssection through the Japan subduction zone highlighting large, subduction-related earthquakes recorded over the last decades and the spatial distribution of their hypocentres.
