Earth, Inner Core and Changing Shape

Earth’s Inner Core Is Changing Shape, Study Finds, Indicating Even More Dynamic Shifts Deep Within Our Planet
Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also deforming around the edges
‘It’s almost science fiction’: Scientists say the shape of Earth’s inner core is changing
Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward, Earth’s inner core in changing shape.
Scientists say the Earth's inner core maybe changing in shape; know what it means to life
Scientists have discovered that Earth's inner core, previously thought to be solid and unchanging, has experienced significant shape changes over the past 20 years. Through advanced seismic analysis,
Earth's Inner Core Appears To Have Changed Shape In The Last Two Decades
A new study has found evidence that the Earth's inner core may have changed shape. Far from taking place over geological timescales, the changes appear to have taken place within the last two decades.
Scientists Detect Shape-Shifting Along Earth’s Solid Inner Core
Scientists of course cannot cut into Earth and directly observe its insides. Instead, their knowledge is inferred from the vibrations generated by earthquakes that pass through the planet. The speed and the direction of the seismic vibrations change depending on the density and the elasticity of the rocks.
Scientists discover Earth's inner core isn't just slowing down — it's also changing shape
The surface of Earth's inner core appears to be dynamic, changing shape as it rotates, earthquake waves reveal.
Earth's Inner Core Is Less Solid Than Thought
The surface of the Earth’s inner core may be changing, as shown by a new study from USC scientists that detected structural changes near the planet’s center, published Monday in Nature Geo
Earth’s Core Is Changing Shape
A new study shows that the inner core changed shape in just a few decades, challenging previous assumptions and revealing hidden dynamics deep within Earth.
Researchers Uncover Mysterious Structural Changes in Earth’s Inner Core
A new study reveals that the Earth's inner core is undergoing a structural transformation. A new study by USC scientists, published in Nature Geoscience, reveals structural changes near the Earth's inner core,
Earth’s inner core isn’t just slowing, it’s also shape-shifting, study finds
The planet’s inner core was previously thought of as a hard, solid sphere. But a new study has found that its edges are softer than realized and actually changing shape.
