A new study shows that the inner core changed shape in just a few decades, challenging previous assumptions and revealing ...
Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also ...
Discover interesting facts about how big earthquakes can get, why earthquakes happen, and why they're so hard to predict.
The surface of Earth's inner core appears to be dynamic, changing shape as it rotates, earthquake waves reveal.
Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward ...
At the center of our planet is a very hot rotating ball of mostly iron and nickel (sorry Journey to the Center of the Earth ...
Earthquakes excite the Earth’s subsurface over a small area, and waves of energy then propagate through the solid earth. Depending on the depth of the waves and the materials they encounter, they can ...
Earth’s inner core is changing shape, scientists have found.
Volcano Watch is a weekly article and activity update written by US Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists ...
What is happening in Earth's inner core? Discover the implications of its deformation for seismic activity and navigation.
Scientists found that the inner core’s structure changes as it rotates. It deforms at its border, potentially accumulating ...
The study analyzed decades of seismic data, including recordings of repeating earthquakes near Antarctica between 1991 and ...
