Internal structure of Earth was a Natural sciences good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Crust depth?

Our table shows the crust extending for 35 km under all definitions. But our first sentence in the Crust section says 5-70 km. Can anyone who knows the nuances (I do not) make this coherent? Jmacwiki (talk) 14:45, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Geological cross section picture is obsolete

The picture showing the cross section of Earth's lithosphere is no longer accurate. A fifth later of the lithosphere has been discovered within the core. It is a solid sphere of iron geologists are calling the innermost core. 2607:FEA8:99C0:61C0:1BA:4E9A:C03F:4C59 (talk) 19:09, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a reliable source for that? Plantsurfer 00:31, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-== "Historical development of alternative conceptions" ==
-That is an odd choice of a section name. I propose this be expanded to a complete "History" section. Surely Halley was not the only scientist interested in the Earth's structure before the 20th century?

-== External links modified ==
-Hello fellow Wikipedians,
-I have just modified one external link on [[Structure of the Earth]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=793557065 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:
-*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070205041442/http://www.psc.edu/science/Cohen_Stix/cohen_stix.html to http://www.psc.edu/science/Cohen_Stix/cohen_stix.html
-When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

-== Composition of the Earth ==
-Why does composition of the Earth re-direct to this page? Those are related but very different topics. For example, the composition is primarily based on geochemical arguments while the structure is from geophysical. We need another page.

-== "Hidden layer" of the earth ==
-"A new study has provided the strongest evidence yet for this mysterious layer—what researchers have dubbed Earth’s inner-inner core."--https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a35731571/earth-has-secret-hidden-layer/
-     The above quotation comes from a popular science article that summarizes a study which appears in the ''Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth''. It would be great to see something about this in the Wikipedia article.
