Scientists say Earth's inner core maybe changing in shape

Earth’s Mysterious Inner Core Is Changing Shape
Earth’s core is transforming, which could affect the length of our 24-hour day, Earth’s magnetic field, and more
‘It’s almost science fiction’: Scientists say the shape of Earth’s inner core is changing
Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward, Earth’s inner core in changing shape.
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 inner core isn’t just slowing, it’s also shape-shifting, study finds
USC scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the nature of the Earth's enigmatic inner core, revealing for the first time that this 1,500-mile-wide ball of iron and nickel is changing.
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.
Earth's Inner Core Has Deformed
Scientists have for some time suspected climate change is affecting Earth's beating heart. Now, a study offers specifics on changes at the planet's unreachable inner core. Building on 2024 research that described how the solid ball of iron and nickel at the center of the Earth,
Forces deep underground seem to be deforming Earth's inner core
Seismic waves suggest the planet's solid inner core is being pulled out of shape – and it has undergone these changes over just a few decades
Strange doughnut-shaped structure found inside Earth’s core – We don’t know what it is
We are unsure of the nature of the strange doughnut-shaped structure discovered inside the Earth's core. We thought Earth had only four layers.
Scientists Detect Shape-Shifting Along Earth’s Solid Inner Core
The inner core at the center of the Earth, a ball of iron and nickel about 1,500 miles wide, may not be perfectly solid. A new study finds evidence that the inner core’s outer boundary has noticeably changed shape over the past few decades.
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.
Study claims Earth’s inner core less solid than previously thought
Changes to the inner core has long been a topic of debate for scientists. The post Study claims Earth’s inner core less solid than previously thought appeared first on Talker.
