The Earth is a massive sphere of partially molten rock, with an iron core that is as hot as the Sun's surface. There is only one way for the titanic heat that remains from its creation and the radioactive decay of trillions of tons of radioactive materials to leave. This energy travels thousands of kilometers through rock currents before reaching the surface. The sole obstacle to them is the crust of the Earth. Although it appears sturdy to us, it is merely a thin wall—an apple skin protecting a raging beast. The climate can undergo millennia' worth of change in a single year as true apocalypses can break through and unleash eruptions ten times more powerful than all of our nuclear weapons combined, drowning continents in toxic waste.
