Earth S Core

Scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway have issued a stark warning regarding the impact of melting Arctic sea ice on global ocean circulation patterns. Their recent study highlights that significant inflows of freshwater from melting sea ice into the Nordic Seas have historically led to dramatic cooling in northern Europe. By analysing...

New research into Earth’s inner core suggests that supercooling, a process where a liquid cools below its freezing point without solidifying, may reveal that the core is much younger than previously thought. Composed of iron and nickel, the core plays a critical role in maintaining Earth’s magnetic field, which protects the planet from harmful ...

By analyzing seismic waves generated by large earthquakes, geophysicists identified a region where these waves slow down as they pass through the outer core.

A new study published in AGU Advances has unveiled intriguing findings about ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) in Earth's mantle, suggesting these mysterious features might be more widespread than previously thought.ULVZs, which are known to dramatically slow seismic waves by up to 50%, have long been associated with volcanic hotspots such as Hawaii...

Researchers said that the slowing down could change the length of one day on the Earth by fractions of a second.

The new research provides evidence that the inner core began to decrease its speed around 2010, moving slower than the Earth's surface.

A new study has provided "unambiguous evidence" that the Earth's inner core began to slow down its rotation since 2010, compared to the planet's surface.

The Earth is spinning in space, which is pretty much empty. In space, there is not even air to push against and slow down the Earth's spin.

Since its formation billions of years ago, Earth's tectonic plates have been transporting water to lower mantle through subduction zones.

Mysterious blobs that lurk more than 2,500 kilometres underground may be remnants of a Mars-sized planet which slammed into Earth in the early solar system and produced a shower of debris that formed the Moon.

The study is based on discovery of traces of helium with concentration that has never been detected before.

Scientists recently discovered that Earth's inner core, which was long thought to be hard like a solid metal sphere, might be a lot softer - more like butter.

A team of scientists has discovered a huge spike in radiocarbon levels 14,300 years ago by analyzing ancient tree rings found in the French Alps.

The goal of the mission is to study this space rock in great detail as it can tell us more about planetary cores and Earth's own formation.

According to the research results, this thin but dense layer is located about 2,900 kilometres (1,800 miles) below the surface.
