chapter? Have you changed your ideas about the Earth?
5. Use the classroom globe to answer this question: If you dug a
hole straight down into the Earth from South Africa, and went
through the core of the Earth, where would the hole come

Answer: in the Pacific Ocean, near Hawaii, about 26 degree north
