Can a movement many feet below our feet quietly change the Earth’s rotation? Over 3,000 miles below the ground, the Earth’s inner solid core a ball of iron and nickel whose temperature is as hot as ...

The way that the Earth’s solid inner core layer rotates may have changed recently, slowing down in relation to the mantle, according to a new study. The research could further the understanding of how ...

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 ...

Earth’s solid metal core may no longer be spinning relative to the vast mass of the surrounding planet thanks to what appears to be a recent slowdown, according to the results of a new study. Nestled ...

(NEXSTAR) – Deep in the center of the Earth is the inner core, which spans roughly 746 miles and is composed of primarily pure, solid iron, NASA explains. Though we’ve long believed – and research has ...

New research gives the first accurate estimate of how much faster Earth's core is rotating compared to the rest of the planet. Previous research had shown that Earth's core rotates faster than the ...
