A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than ...
Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward ...
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.
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.
“What we’re observing in this study for the first time is likely the outer core disturbing the inner core,” explains Vidale. Turbulence in Earth’s molten outer core disrupts the boundary ...
Located 3,000 miles below the Earth’s surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. It's believed to play an important role in maintaining the planet’s ...
Earth’s inner core was long thought to be a solid sphere of mostly iron anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. Scientists have long debated whether this massive ball rotates at a ...
New research reveals Earth’s inner core may be deforming due to outer core turbulence, altering its structure and rotation. A new study reveals that the Earth’s inner core is undergoing a structural ...
Earth’s interior is like a giant layer cake with four main layers: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the thin, outermost layer where we live, and it’s broken into massive ...
A new study has seen scientists unexpectedly find that the inner core of our planet is changing its physical nature ...
The inner core of the Earth, which is found about 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) under the surface, sits within a molten outer core, and is anchored by gravity. Once commonly thought of as a solid ...
