Earth’s Solid Inner Core Is Changing Shape, New Study Finds

Earth’s solid inner core. Credit: Argonne National Laboratory / CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 Scientists have found new evidence that the Earth’s inner core, a dense metal ball deep within the planet, may not be perfectly solid and is changing shape. Researchers say its outer layer has changed shape in recent decades, raising new questions about the dynamics of the planet’s center. The inner core, made mostly of iron and nickel, is about 1,500 miles wide and …
