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.
Scientists find Earth's inner core's rotation may slow and change direction by 2040
Scientists have raised concerns that the Earth's inner core may completely halt its rotation by 2040, according to a recent paper published in Nature. The study suggests changes are occurring deep within our planet,
The Earth’s Core Is Not as Solid As We Thought, Yet Another Study Speculates
A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than scientists thought.
Earth’s Inner Core Is Slowing Down — and May Not Be Entirely Solid
The surprise discovery of earth’s core composition may debunk previous assumptions on the solidity of the planet.
Scientists discover yet another change to Earth’s inner core: Its shape
Scientists found that the inner core’s structure changes as it rotates. It deforms at its border, potentially accumulating more material in some areas and less in others — almost like creating hills and valleys.
Scientists accidentally discover Earth's inner core is less solid than expected
However, researchers from the University of Southern Carolina (USC) now say they discovered — almost by accident — that the Earth's inner core may be much more malleable. John
