They found an odd ring around the outer core's equator, where earthquake waves move more slowly than in surrounding regions. Earth's outer core is made up of liquid iron and nickel and surrounds ...

The outer core is liquid iron and nickel and generates the Earth's magnetic field. And the inner core is made of solid iron and nickel. The surface of the earth is constantly changing. It's the ...

Earthquake data suggest that all or small patches of the inner core's surface may be swelling and contracting.

NASA monitors the South Atlantic Anomaly, a growing magnetic field disturbance affecting satellites and spacecraft.

The Earth's interior is composed of four layers ... Above the inner core is the outer core, a shell of liquid iron. This layer is cooler but still very hot, perhaps 7,200 to 9,000 degrees ...

Earth' 750 light-years away, with 8 Earth masses packed into 1.6x Earth’s size, orbiting its star in just 21 hours.

Earth’s magnetic north pole is on the move—and in surprising ways. With the release of the World Magnetic Model 2025, ...

It helps to visualize this: Earth’s inner core is a solid ball that is surrounded by a fluid outer core. This is how it can rotate at a different pace compared to the planet’s outer layers ...

Most of Earth's gold is locked up in the mantle, the thick, middle layer of the planet located between the crust and the ...

Earth’s inner core, a solid metal ball gyrating within the molten outer core, may be both slowing down and changing shape. Recent analyses of earthquake waves have suggested that around 15 years ago, ...
