Scientists discover yet another change to Earth’s inner core

Earth’s Core Is Changing Shape
A new study shows that the inner core changed shape in just a few decades, challenging previous assumptions and revealing hidden dynamics deep within Earth.
Earth's inner core is slowing down and changing shape 🌍
The Earth's inner core, long considered a solid and stable sphere, may be quite different. A recent study suggests that its surface is undergoing structural transformations, challenging
Earth’s inner core is not solid, it is 'shape-shifting' - time for textbooks to be rewritten
New study reveals that Earth's inner core is undergoing unexpected structural changes, challenging long-held assumptions about its solidity.
Earth's inner core has shifted shape over two decades, scientists discover
Earth's inner core has changed shape over the past 20 years. A team of scientists studied the core's behavior to understand why its rotation slowed down
Earth’s inner core is deforming—here’s what we know
In a nutshell Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core isn’t just changing its rotation speed – it’s actually deforming at its surface. This is the first time such structural changes have been observed on human timescales.
Researchers Uncover Mysterious Structural Changes in Earth’s Inner Core
A new study reveals that the Earth's inner core is undergoing a structural transformation. A new study by USC scientists, published in Nature Geoscience, reveals structural changes near the Earth's inner core,
Earth’s Inner Core Is Changing Shape, Study Finds, Indicating Even More Dynamic Shifts Deep Within Our Planet
Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also deforming around the edges
Earth’s inner core isn’t just slowing, it’s also shape-shifting, study finds
The planet’s inner core was previously thought of as a hard, solid sphere. But a new study has found that its edges are softer than realized and actually changing shape.
