Scientists say shape of Earth’s inner core is changing

Earth’s inner core is less solid than we thought
Earth’s core is located below the middle layer called the mantle and the outer layer –or crust. It consists of two main parts–a liquid outer core and a more solid inner core. The outer layer is made of liquid iron-nickel and is responsible for producing Earth’s magnetic field.
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 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 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 Solid Inner Core Is Changing Shape, New Study Finds
Researchers found evidence that the Earth's inner core is changing shape, suggesting unseen processes affecting its movement over time.
Scientists Detect Shape-Shifting Along Earth’s Solid Inner Core
They also showed that the pace of rotation changes — the inner core appeared to be spinning slightly faster than the outer layers a couple of decades ago, and now it is spinning slightly slower.
Earth's inner core isn't just slowing, it's also shape-shifting, study finds
USC scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the nature of the Earth's enigmatic inner core, revealing for the first time that this 1,500-mile-wide ball of iron and nickel is changing.
