The natural radioactivity of the earth varies greatly from one place to another, depending on the concentration of rocks containing uranium.
Examples include Inge Lehmann, who discovered that Earth has a solid core; Lise Meitner, a codiscoverer of the neutrino; Mary Lucy Cartwright, who made strides in formulating chaos theory; and the well-known Marie Curie, who discovered natural radioactivity.
Her husband soon joined in her scientific investigations into the natural radioactivity discovered by another French scientist, Antoine Henri Becquerel.
