On the Edge of the World

We live on the edge of a ball in space, orbiting a star. How do we find out what we are made of and where we came from? It is a daunting task and we can’t dig a hole to the center of the earth. We have to look for clues, and they may be unexpected ones. What can we learn from a large earthquake in Bolivia that was felt in Canada, and made the earth wobble for months? What can we see in volcanoes, which bring material from deep underground to the surface? What clues are provided by our neighbors in the solar system? (60 minutes)
