Earth's core Photo: NASA/JPL . That’s the sort of thing that makes headlines. You hear that the Earth’s core stopped spinning and it drops a ball of searing hot metal into your gut.

The Earth's inner core was once liquid, but has turned solid over time. As the Earth gradually cools, the inner core expands outwards at the surrounding iron-rich liquid "freezes." ...

The Earth's core affects humans by producing its magnetic field, which protects life from dangerous radiation from the sun, allowing life to flourish on Earth.

The Earth’s core is not literally stopping; however it is changing. The Earth is not a solid ball; it consists of several layers . There is the innermost core, which is a solid sphere about the ...

Thanks to atomic clocks (and all the worldly forces that influence them), scientists know that Earth's rotation has begun to ...

The movements within Earth’s molten core have been resisting efforts to understand them for a long time, but agreement ...

The 2003 disaster film “The Core” imagines that the rotation of Earth’s center has stalled, damaging the magnetic field that envelops the planet — and triggering a violent lightning storm ...

The inner core at the center of the Earth, a ball of iron and nickel about 1,500 miles wide, may not be perfectly solid. A new study finds evidence that the inner core’s outer boundary has ...

Earth's core has been a growing topic of interest. It is responsible for the planet's magnetic field, which protects life from the sun's radiation. Despite its importance, ...

Why Earth's Core Is Cooling Faster Than Expected; The research team’s original intent was to gather more data from its discovery last year—that the rotation of the inner core may be slowing.

The movements within Earth’s molten core have been resisting efforts to understand them for a long time, but agreement between a mathematical and physical model has led two physicists to claim ...
