"Hennessy analyzed the planet's solidification process, resulting gravity variations, and internal circulation, exploring how calorific and chemical changes shaped the early Earth's crust."--Wikipedia
�"In�'Researches in Terrestrial Physics'�(Philosophical Transactions, 1851) [the paper offered here] he argued from the figure and structure of the Earth and planets, that they were of fluid origin, and that a fluid nucleus at a high temperature was enclosed within their crust. He also wrote on�meteorology�and on�climatology, deducing laws which regulate the distribution of temperature in islands. 'On the Influence of the Gulf Stream�led to a request to report on the temperature of the seas surrounding the British Isles for the Committee on Irish Fisheries in 1870."
