Is there a way to visualize the earth's core using Mathematica's volume rendering technique? Can someone who has looked at the feature provide an example for doing the visualization?

Possible add this to a manipulate so the crust opens up to reveal the inside.

The basic layers look like:

  • @Kuba I have added a picture from kids book. It is just to explain the thing to a child in 3D. – user13892 Jan 26 '19 at 19:31
  • @CarlLange that would work but is there a way to stick the crust as well. A real image of a surface. – user13892 Jan 26 '19 at 19:32

  • @CarlLange Is there a way to give it 3D texture like mountain = Entity["Mountain", "MountEverest"]; surface = GeoElevationData[GeoDisk[mountain, Quantity[3, "Miles"]]]; ListPlot3D[Reverse[surface], MeshFunctions -> {#3 &}, Mesh -> 30, ImageSize -> Large, ColorFunction -> Automatic]. But from far way since i want it for the entire earth. With possible of scaling parameters since it would be hard to see the texture at that scale. – user13892 Jan 26 '19 at 19:42
  • @user13892 Does this answer do what you're looking for? https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/134492/57593 My apologies, but I do not have the time to help you with a real answer, which is why I'm posting all these links in the hopes that they help you or someone else :) – Carl Lange Jan 26 '19 at 19:49
