The inner core of our planet has started spinning slower and slower, new research has revealed Compared to the speed of the Earth's surface, the inner core was previously thought to rotate faster.

Earth's internal structure, comprised of a crust, mantle (including upper and lower sections with varying mineral compositions like olivine, bridgmanite, and ferropericlase), outer core (liquid iron ...

(CNN) — The rotation of Earth’s inner core may have paused and it could even go into reverse, new research suggests. The Earth is formed of the crust, the mantle and the inner and outer cores. The ...

It’s time to rewrite science textbooks. In a study, scientists claim to have discovered another layer in the Earth’s core. For many years, it has been widely believed that the Earth has four layers: ...

Deep beneath our feet, approximately 2,890 kilometers underground, lies one of Earth's most mysterious regions. The boundary ...

Deep inside Earth is a solid metal ball that rotates independently of our spinning planet, like a top whirling around inside a bigger top, shrouded in mystery. This inner core has intrigued ...

Planet Earth's inner core may have stopped turning and could go into reverse, according to a study published this week. Earth is formed of three layers: the crust, the mantle, and the core. Made ...

Mysteries still abound for scientists studying the Earth’s climate, biosphere, surface topography, and even the oceans, but they all have a distinct advantage: the subjects of their inquiries are, to ...

The heart of our planet has been spinning unusually slowly for the past 14 years, new research confirms. And if this mysterious trend continues, it could potentially lengthen Earth's days — though the ...
