The inner core is responsible for Earth's magnetic field, which acts like a shield, protecting us from harmful solar radiation. This magnetic field might have been important for creating the ...

to you it looks like it’s moving backwards, but to someone on the ground it’s just moving slower than you are. Perspective matters here.” When scientists talk about the inner core rotation ...

What we'd also like to know in more detail is what are the forces that are moving the inner core." Scientists first had a hunch that the inner core was moving in the 1990s, he said. It has taken ...

Earthquake data suggest that all or small patches of the inner core's surface may be swelling and contracting.

Although this inner core is white hot, the pressure is so high ... The rock is so hot, however, that it flows under pressure, like road tar. This creates very slow-moving currents as hot rock ...

If core muscles are tired or weak, the ligaments in your back take over and can become strained. Exercises like side planks and dead bugs work the deep muscles of the inner core, like the pelvic ...

“It’s like when a figure skater does a pirouette ... which matches observations by astronomers and satellites. Earth’s inner core has been slowing down for 14 years. It comes just weeks ...

New simulation methods reveal insights into the Earth's core and promise advances in neuromorphic computing for artificial ...

The inner core is made from solid iron and nickel ... of the Earth and is made of semi-solid rock that moves very slowly, like a liquid. The tectonic plates float on top of the mantle, meaning ...

Driving this hellish heat is a medley of god-like forces that have persisted ... mainly of molten iron and nickel – and the inner core – essentially a solid ball about the size of our Moon ...

Geophysicists studying seismic waves from earthquakes have found evidence suggesting that Earth's inner core not only rotates differently but also changes shape. Analysis of earthquake waveforms ...
