What's under the house?

The other day, Richard asked me, "Mommy, what's under the house and the pipes and the streets? What is under all the dirt?"
Well, I have this book about the earth I got from my sister when she had too many points from selling books through book orders at school. So, I've been doing my best to go through this book and teach Richard about the earth's core, volcanoes, plate tectonics, weather patterns, ecosystems, the food chain, etc. 
Every night now it's, "Mommy, can we look at the book about what's under the world?" I'm amazed that he even thought to ask that question! Now I just hope I'm doing a decent job explaining geology and such to a four-year-old.
