New Research Reveals Earth's Inner Core is Slowing Down and Moving Backward: Implications for Geology

Broke On: Friday, 05 July 2024 New research reveals that Earth's inner core, a solid metal ball deep within the Earth, has experienced significant changes in rotation speed. Recent studies suggest it once rotated faster than Earth but is now slowing down and even moving backward relative to surrounding fluid layers. Seismic waves provide insights into this phenomenon, which follows a 70-year cycle. Possible causes include geostationary satellites, and implications for Earth's geology are still under investigation.

Mysterious Slowing Down of Earth's Inner Core: Implications for Magnetic Field and Day Length

Broke On: Friday, 01 January 2010 Recent studies suggest Earth's inner core has been slowing down since around 2010, affecting the planet's magnetic field and potentially shortening days. Seismic data from various locations worldwide revealed S waves traveling faster than P waves, indicating a change within the core. Further analysis confirmed this decrease in rotation speed, but the cause remains unclear.
