Earth's Inner Core Is Changing Shape

Scientists find Earth's inner core's rotation may slow and change direction by 2040
Scientists have raised concerns that the Earth's inner core may completely halt its rotation by 2040, according to a recent paper published in Nature. The study suggests changes are occurring deep within our planet,

‘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.
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.
Scientists accidentally discover Earth's inner core is less solid than expected
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. John
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.
