Scientists Baffled to Find Signs of Another Core Within Earth’s Inner Core, Say ‘We Have to Rewrite the Textbooks’ For decades, schoolbooks have painted a relatively simple picture of Earth ...

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, is Earth's history. Our history. Research shows there are little-known ...

The rotation of Earth’s inner core may have paused and it could even go into reverse, new research suggests.. The Earth is formed of the crust, the mantle and the inner and outer cores. The ...

A wealth of new information about Earth’s inner core has surfaced in recent months. Scientists now have evidence that the planet’s innermost layer is changing shape.

Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years ...

The surface of Earth's inner core may be shape-shifting, new research suggests. The study, published Feb. 10 in the journal Nature, looked at earthquake waves that have skimmed the edge of the ...

But, for now, the signs point towards the remains of an ancient structure, possibly an ocean floor, surrounding Earth’s core. Don’t Miss : NASA funds futuristic asteroid pulverization and ...

In a recent discovery that could change how we understand Earth’s inner layers, scientists have found signs that precious metals like gold might be slowly leaking from the planet’s core. Until ...

Although more than 99.95% of Earth's gold is locked in the molten core, tiny amounts may be coming up to the surface in magma, a study found. A lava fountain at Kilauea in Hawaii is seen in early May.

Essentially, if the rocks had more 100 Ru than it “ought” to, as part of the Earth’s crust, that’s a pretty good sign that it originally came from the core, some 3,000 kilometers (1,864 ...

Although more than 99.95% of Earth's gold is locked in the molten core, tiny amounts may be coming up to the surface in magma, a study found. A lava fountain at Kilauea in Hawaii is seen in early May.

Earth’s innermost layer is a hot, solid ball of metal surrounded by a liquid metal outer core. For decades, planetary scientists suspected that the solid inner core deformed over time as it spun.
