Recent research has revealed that Earth’s core is undergoing a slowdown in its rotation, a phenomenon that has piqued the interest of scientists around the world. Understanding the causes and ...

The Earth’s inner core, a solid sphere predominantly composed of iron and nickel, occupies a central role in our planet’s evolution and geodynamo processes. Although hidden beneath thousands of ...

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, is Earth's history. Our history. Research shows there are little-known ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

The speed of Earth's rotation is about 1,000 miles per hour relative to its axis. Your exact speed of rotation due to Earth's spin depends on your latitude. The farther you are from the equator, the ...

What is the speed and timing of the Earth’s inner core cooling? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the composition ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects ...
