Around the core is a 60-mile-thick transition zone, or lower mantle, composed of a mixture of olivine and basalt-like rock that was apparently formed out of molten material. Next comes the 150-mile-thick upper mantle, an entirely basaltic layer in which, some...
...Some of the upper belt's periodic fluctuations can be charged to storms on the sun, which usually last a matter of days. But Drs. Alan Rosen, T. A. Farley and C. P. Sonett of Space Technology Laboratories, Los Angeles, analyzed radioed reports from U.S. satellite Explorer VI, found that at 30,000 miles above the earth the intensity of the radiation some times increased a hundredfold in a few seconds, then dropped back almost as swiftly.
