Buried more than 3,000 miles beneath our feet, Earth’s solid inner core was once thought to be unchanging—locked in place at the heart of the planet. But new research has revealed something much more ...

And that rotation is largely responsible for the distribution of every desert, forest, and swamp on the planet. So, let's do a little experiment. Let's say we reverse Earth's rotation. What then?

The inner core, as big as the Moon, interacts with the liquid outer core, helping power Earth’s magnetic field. ‘Climate bombshell’: Lakes lose oxygen 9X faster than oceans in global crisis ...

A 2024 study, for example, found that the rotation of Earth's core had slowed down. This new study "introduces a new perspective — non-rotational changes — adding another dimension to the ...

Experiments suggest that an unusual magnetic material can help harness energy from the planet’s rotation. But not everyone is convinced. Electricity can be generated from the energy of Earth ...

Located over 4,500 kilometres beneath the surface and roughly the size of the moon, the inner core’s behaviour is studied through seismic waves from earthquakes and nuclear tests. The USC ...

When a sodium-filled model of the Earth’s outer core spins at full speed ... to predict when the Earth’s magnetic field will next reverse. Over the course of our planet’s history, the ...

As Earth rotates and part of its magnetic field remains ... as the Moon’s pull and changing dynamics inside the planet’s core.

We all know that the Earth is in constant motion - it is something we learnt in school, and while we might not feel it at all, our planet is constantly moving, completing one rotation around the ...
