In jules verne's time there was little interest in what was inside the earth is this fact or fiction?

Answer 1

Obviously geologists studied volcanism and similar phenomena. Man has always been concerned ( for rather profitable reasons) with Natural Resources underground, for use as fuels- coal , oil, etc and precious metals and gems. One cannot really say geology was a dead or even dormant science in l864 when Verne wrote (Journey) I saw the movie with Arlene Dahl and felt, while Low-tech- the rechargeable flashlights, callee Rumkorff lamps- were an exception and worked handily into the plot- it was generally speaking an intelligent sci-fi drama and may have well worked without a bad Guy- who had some good moments, by the way- explaining the luminous fungi in the lower regions. there was a tie-in to Atlantis, and the use of the Giant Bathtub as a survival, err Lifeboat- was both comic and practical! the only flaws of the films were totally off-base songs having noithing to do with the plot ( this is an old Hollywood flaw- look at (raindrops) and a violent crime western) -and maybe a surfeit of sight-gags. some comic relief is useful in a film of this kind but too much.. no. ask a question and get a film review on the side. It"s Good for type- on the large screen, also Dinosaurs look bigger on the broad scan than the TV set!

Answer 2

This is fiction. Jules Verne's novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was published in 1864 and it sparked public interest in the idea of exploring what was inside the earth. Verne's work influenced popular culture and sparked curiosity about the mysteries of the Earth's interior.
