Scientists found that the inner core’s structure changes as it rotates. It deforms at its border, potentially accumulating more material in some areas and less in others — almost like creating hills ...

Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years.

Shape changes in the core could hold clues about the forces deep inside Earth that power our magnetosphere, the invisible lines of magnetic energy that protect our planet from solar weather and ...

Seismic waves suggest the planet's solid inner core is being pulled out of shape – and it has undergone these changes over just a few decades ...

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 ...

The Shape of the Earth As is well known, the earth is a slightly flattened sphere, but it also departs from the spherical in other interesting ways. These departures have been most clearly ...

The inner core of Earth may have changed shape in the past 20 years, according to a group of scientists. The inner core is usually thought to be shaped like a ball, but its edges may actually have ...
