Scientists accidentally discover Earth's inner core is less solid than expected
For a long time, scientists thought the Earth's inner core was a solid ball of metal, sort of like a planet within a planet that sits some 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) below the surface. However, researchers from the University of Southern Carolina (USC) now say they discovered — almost by accident — that the Earth's inner core may be much more malleable.
Earth's inner core is less solid than previously thought: Study reveals structural transformation
The surface of the Earth's inner core may be changing, as shown by a new study by USC scientists that detected structural changes near the planet's center, published in Nature Geoscience.
Earth’s Inner Core Is Slowing Down — and May Not Be Entirely Solid
The surprise discovery of earth’s core composition may debunk previous assumptions on the solidity of the planet.
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.
Earth's Inner Core Is Changing Shape, And Scientists Are Puzzled As To Why This Is Happening
Not only is Earth’s inner core spinning and growing, but it’s also changing shape, according to new research. Our planet’s […]
Earth’s solid metal core may be soft on the outside: Study
The Earth’s inner core is changing shape and may be a little soft on the outside, scientific research suggests. A study published in Nature Geoscience this month evaluated seismic activity to determine what may be happening within the deepest parts of the planet.
