The internal nucleus of the Earth changed the shape: Scientists believe that The inner nucleus of the earth has been able to change its shape over the past 20 years. The latest research results were published in Nature Geoscience. A team of researchers led by John Vidale from the University of South California analyzed Data on seismic waves from 128 earthquakeswhich occurred between 1991 and 2023.
5400 degrees Celsius: According to scientists, there is iron and nickel ball with an estimated radius of 650 km. There are approx. 5,000 km below the surface of our planet. TEmperatures reach 5400 degrees Celsius thereand the pressure can reach up to 365 gigapascals (GPA), which is over 3 million times more than average atmospheric pressure on Earth – CNN lists. The inner nucleus is surrounded by a liquid outer nucleus.
Earth like “idle Mars”: “The inner nucleus rotates regardless of the liquid outer nucleus and the rest of the planet. Without this movement The earth would die and become more similar to idle Marswho lost his magnetic field billions of years ago, “writes the BBC. Earthly magnetic field protects us from, among others, harmful space radiation.
Changes in the magnetic field of the Earth? “National Geographic” reports that researchers suspect that the inner nucleus not only releases or accelerates over decades, but also changes its shape. This is probably the case as a result of the interaction of the outer nucleus. BBC adds that it is possible that these changes are related to changes in the magnetic field of the Earth.
“It’s almost science fiction”: The latest discovery of scientists is to allow, among others better understand the operation of the earthly gravitational field. – It’s almost science fiction to imagine what is happening on the surface of the internal testicle. This place is so different from our daily lives, with other time scales, other materials and incredible forces. And yet we can “get there” simply sifting some of the latest observations – says John Vidale.
