Scientists discover yet another change to Earth’s inner core

Shocking change in Earth’s core could alter everything we knew
A new study in Nature Geoscience reveals insights about the Earth’s core. While we often learn about the inner and outer cores, research is ongoing to under
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.
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
Earth’s inner core is deforming—here’s what we know
In a nutshell Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core isn’t just changing its rotation speed – it’s actually deforming at its surface. This is the first time such structural changes have been observed on human timescales.
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 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.
Earth’s Inner Core Is Slowing Down — and May Not Be Entirely Solid
The surprise discovery of earth’s core composition may debunk previous assumptions on the solidity of the planet.
Earth’s Core Is Changing Shape
A new study shows that the inner core changed shape in just a few decades, challenging previous assumptions and revealing hidden dynamics deep within Earth.
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
