The Earth’s inner core is changing shape, study reveals
Scientists have discovered that the inner core's surface is changing shape, challenging previous assumptions about its solid nature
‘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.
The surface of the Earth’s inner core may be changing
The Earth’s inner core is 3,000 miles below the surface and was thought to be a solid sphere held by gravity in the molten outer core. Recent studies show that the inner core’s rotation rate or shape can change over years or decades. This was found through variations in seismic waves from repeated earthquakes.
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.
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.
