Scientists say shape of Earth’s inner core is changing

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.
Earth’s inner core is not solid, it is 'shape-shifting' - time for textbooks to be rewritten
New study reveals that Earth's inner core is undergoing unexpected structural changes, challenging long-held assumptions about its solidity.
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.
Earth’s inner core is less solid than we thought
Earth’s core is located below the middle layer called the mantle and the outer layer –or crust. It consists of two main parts–a liquid outer core and a more solid inner core. The outer layer is made of liquid iron-nickel and is responsible for producing Earth’s magnetic field.
Earth’s Solid Inner Core Is Changing Shape, New Study Finds
Researchers found evidence that the Earth's inner core is changing shape, suggesting unseen processes affecting its movement over time.
Scientists left baffled after making discovery about Earth's core that could change everything they knew
Scientists at the University of Southern California have discovered the Earth's core is changing shape after analysing earthquake data.
Earth’s inner core changing shape? Scientists reveal it may have 'deformed by over 100 meters'
New research suggests that Earth's inner core, long believed to be stable, may be undergoing structural changes, including a possible shift in shape, shedding light on the mysteries beneath the planet
"Almost Science Fiction": Scientists Say Earth's Mysterious Inner Core Is Changing Shape
This transformation is believed to be occurring at the boundary where the solid inner core meets the scorching hot liquid metal outer core.
Strange doughnut-shaped structure found inside Earth’s core – We don’t know what it is
We are unsure of the nature of the strange doughnut-shaped structure discovered inside the Earth's core. We thought Earth had only four layers.
‘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.
Earth's inner core isn't just slowing, it's also shape-shifting, study finds
USC scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the nature of the Earth's enigmatic inner core, revealing for the first time that this 1,500-mile-wide ball of iron and nickel is changing.
