By Kenneth Chang The inner core of the Earth appears to hold an innermost secret. Geology textbooks almost inevitably include a cutaway diagram of the Earth showing four neatly delineated layers ...

But beneath that simple diagram lies a way more ... "Traditionally we've been taught the Earth has four main layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core…It's very exciting ...

This diagram shows the different layers of Earth's interior — the solid iron-nickel inner core, the molten liquid iron-nickel outer core, the layers of the mantle, and the crust. Credit ...

Earth is made up of several layers. Layers based on chemical composition are the core, mantle and crust. According to mechanical properties, Earth's layers are the lithosphere, asthenosphere ...

The study's authors told Newsweek the findings have implications for our understanding of how the core influences the other layers of the Earth. Our planet consists of several layers. The thin ...

They also offer new clues to the way heat moves through Earth’s many layers. Understanding this planetary churn is an existential pursuit: Heat radiating from the planet’s solid metal core ...

Earth’s heart may have a secret chamber. The planet’s inner core isn’t just a solid ball of nickel and iron, researchers say, but contains two layers of its own: a distinct central region ...

the core’s rotation matched Earth’s spin. Then it slowed even more, until the core was moving backward relative to the fluid layers around it. At the time, some experts cautioned that more ...

Earth's inner core is undergoing structural transformation. Located 3,000 miles below the Earth's surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core.
