Earth’s core is pretty dynamic ... or changing its shape and shifting at the inner core’s shallow boundary. This interaction between the inner and outer core is likely the cause of this ...

For their study, Korenaga and Guo carefully calibrated and set parameters for how each of these components functioned — and then had them interact. The researchers were guided by a series of early ...

The internal, infernal machinations of our planet may be way more complex than we suspected. A new, detailed probe of Earth's heart reveals that the rotating inner core doesn't just change in rotation ...

Feb. 10, 2025 — Earth's inner core is undergoing structural transformation. Located 3,000 miles below the Earth's surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core.
