Scientists say shape of Earth’s inner core is changing

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
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.
‘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.
Shocking change in Earth’s core could alter everything we knew
A new study in Nature Geoscience reveals insights about the Earth’s core. While we often learn about the inner and outer cores, research is ongoing to under
Earth’s inner core is deforming—here’s what we know
In a nutshell Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core isn’t just changing its rotation speed – it’s actually deforming at its surface. This is the first time such structural changes have been observed on human timescales.
Earth’s inner core changing shape? Scientists reveal it may have 'deformed by over 100 meters'
New research suggests that Earth's inner core, long believed to be stable, may be undergoing structural changes, including a possible shift in shape, shedding light on the mysteries beneath the planet
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 has shifted shape over two decades, scientists discover
Earth's inner core has changed shape over the past 20 years. A team of scientists studied the core's behavior to understand why its rotation slowed down
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 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.
