What is the amount of heat required to actually vaporize a cubic meter of the 
Earth's crust?  Furthermore, how many cubic kilometers of crust does the Earth 
actually have?  I know it's not supposed to be very deep, in comparison to 
Earth's diameter, but just how deep is that?  Overall, what would be the heat 
of vaporization of all that crust?
