From these indirect observations, scientists have calculated that the scorchingly hot inner core, with temperatures ...

A new analysis of marsquakes measured by NASA’s InSight lander indicates Mars has a solid inner core – but other researchers ...

A new chapter of the Earth's history may be about to be written after boffins discovered evidence there may be another layer ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Earth’s inner core, a solid metal ball gyrating within the molten outer core, may be both slowing down and changing shape. Recent analyses of earthquake waves have suggested ...

This wandering behavior is driven by turbulent flows of molten iron in Earth’s outer core. By studying these dynamics, ...

The Earth's interior is composed of four layers ... in diameter. Although this inner core is white hot, the pressure is so high the iron cannot melt. The iron isn't pure—scientists believe ...

Earth’s inner core has been slowing down for 14 years. It comes just weeks after another team of researchers suggested that the slight increase in the length of a day may be because Earth’s ...

solid ball at the center of our planet has been reducing its speed for years as part of an oscillating cycle Rudy Molinek A new study suggests more solar radiation reached Earth while the magnetic ...

The Earth has a shell-like structure. It is divided into a core (inner and outer core), a mantle (lower and upper mantle, separated by a transition zone), and the earth's crust. The Earth’s ...

Because of the specific temperature and pressure conditions inside the Earth, the outer core is in a molten state, while the inner core remains solid." Electrically charged, liquid iron flows ...

Geophysicists studying seismic waves from earthquakes have found evidence suggesting that Earth's inner core not only rotates differently but also changes shape. Analysis of earthquake waveforms ...

Earth’s inner core, a solid metal ball gyrating within the molten outer core, may be both slowing down and changing shape. Recent analyses of earthquake waves have suggested that around 15 years ago, ...
