  Although the ground seems sold and immovable, the earth we walk on is in a constant state of change. The imperceptibly slow shifting of the earth under our feet has immense effects - some of which, such as volcanoes and earthquakes, are catastrophic. Sue Bowler, contributing editor of Geoscientist and editor of Astronomy & Geophysics , tells the story of how our planet has developed since its formation 4.6 billion years ago, looking beneath its ever-changing surface to the molten rocks below.
