Earth's Inner Core Is Changing Shape

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 discover Earth's inner core isn't just slowing down — it's also changing shape
The surface of Earth's inner core appears to be dynamic, changing shape as it rotates, earthquake waves reveal.
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.
Goodbye to everything we knew about the Earth's core: Scientists find hidden structure inside
Our planet, Earth, is structurally composed of a series of concentric internal spherical layers that are divided into: crust, upper mantle, mantle, outer core and inner core. Every
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.
