Earth, inner core

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.
‘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 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
Forces deep underground seem to be deforming Earth's inner core
Seismic waves suggest the planet's solid inner core is being pulled out of shape – and it has undergone these changes over just a few decades
Scientists Detect Shape-Shifting Along Earth’s Solid Inner Core
Scientists of course cannot cut into Earth and directly observe its insides. Instead, their knowledge is inferred from the vibrations generated by earthquakes that pass through the planet. The speed and the direction of the seismic vibrations change depending on the density and the elasticity of the rocks.
Earth's Inner Core Appears To Have Changed Shape In The Last Two Decades
A new study has found evidence that the Earth's inner core may have changed shape. Far from taking place over geological timescales, the changes appear to have taken place within the last two decades.
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.
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.
Earth’s Inner Core Is Changing Shape, Study Finds, Indicating Even More Dynamic Shifts Deep Within Our Planet
Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also deforming around the edges
Researchers Uncover Mysterious Structural Changes in Earth’s Inner Core
A new study reveals that the Earth's inner core is undergoing a structural transformation. A new study by USC scientists, published in Nature Geoscience, reveals structural changes near the Earth's inner core,

Astronomer Captures Breathtaking Time-Lapse Video Of Earth's Rotation From Ladakh
Over four gruelling nights, he faced numerous setbacks, including storage issues, battery failures, and timer malfunctions.
What lies at the center of the Earth? The answer keeps changing.
A new study out this week said that the Earth's inner core is less solid than previously thought. Scientists still have questions, though.
