Earth, inner core

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
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.
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 deforming—here’s what we know
What is happening in Earth's inner core? Discover the implications of its deformation for seismic activity and navigation.
Earth’s Inner Core Is Changing Shape, Study Finds, Indicating Even More Dynamic Shifts Deep Within Our Planet
Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also deforming around the edges
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 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 isn’t just slowing, it’s also shape-shifting, study finds
The planet’s inner core was previously thought of as a hard, solid sphere. But a new study has found that its edges are softer than realized and actually changing shape.
