Radiation exposure, terrestrial
 scroll 
Terrestrial radiation comes from the natural radioactive
substances which exist in various concentrations everywhere on earth.
The dose rate resulting from terrestrial radiation depends on the geological
formations of the subsoil and therefore varies from one location to
another. In Germany, an average external radiation dose of 0.5 mSv per
year results due to terrestrial radiation; in some parts of Brazil and
India these values are ten times higher.
