Surprising differences in the two so-called Large Low-Velocity Provinces may risk instability in Earth's protective magnetic field.

This heat drives convection cells within the ... Without the effects caused by the spinning Earth, the magnetic fields generated within the liquid core would cancel one another out and result ...

This magnetic field also influences plate tectonics and mantle convection, underlining the ... extending to conditions ...

It’s not much of a stretch to say that Earth’s inner structure, especially the innermost spherical core, has stupefied ...

Earth's core has been a growing topic of interest. It is responsible for the planet's magnetic field, which protects life from the sun's radiation. Despite its importance, there is still much that ...

New research sheds light on the Earth's "innermost inner core," offering new insight into the formation of the planet and its magnetic field. From our morning news briefing to a weekly Good News ...

which moves very slowly as a result of convection currents driven by heat energy from the hot core. The outer core is liquid iron and nickel and generates the Earth's magnetic field. And the inner ...

The movement of atoms in the liquid outer core generate the Earth's magnetic field and the planet's broad habitability. But while the center of our planet has long been thought to be a solid iron ...

This discovery provides new insights into the inner core’s dynamics and its impact on Earth's magnetic field. The Earth is in a constant state of flux, and changes are constant on its surface ...
