Scientists of course cannot cut into Earth and directly observe its insides. Instead, their knowledge is inferred from the ...

A new study has seen scientists unexpectedly find that the inner core of our planet is changing its physical nature ...

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 ...

This revelation may shed light on the mystery of why the inner core's rotation appears to have been slowing down over recent years. The Earth is made up of four main structures: the outer crust ...

Located 3,000 miles below the Earth's surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. Until now the inner core was widely thought of as a solid sphere.

Earth’s innermost layer is a hot, solid ball of metal surrounded by a liquid metal outer core. For decades, planetary scientists suspected that the solid inner core deformed over time as it spun.

The surface of Earth's inner ... that the inner core's surface, while solid, could be quite changeable over short periods. "The most likely thing is the flow in the outer core is stirring up ...

The Earth's internal layers including the mantle, outer core and inner core. New research shows the inner core undergoes structural transformation likely caused by outer core disturbance.

Located 3,000 miles below the Earth's surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. Until now, the inner core was widely thought of as a solid sphere.

The surface of Earth's inner core ... It revealed that, even when the core had rotated into a previously observed position, there were often subtle differences. These differences suggest that the ...
