WASHINGTON, N.C. (WNCT) — Around 20 vintage Rolls-Royce and Bentley vehicles paraded around the Inner and Outer Banks this week. The tour began in New Bern, traveled throughout the Outer Banks ...

“The most likely thing is the outer core is kind of tugging on the inner core and making it move a little bit.” While scientists have theorized about the existence of these movements, this ...

“The molten outer core is widely known to be turbulent, but its turbulence had not been observed to disrupt its neighbor the inner core on a human timescale,” said USC Earth Sciences professor ...

Earth’s innermost layer is a hot, solid ball of metal surrounded by a liquid metal outer core. For decades, planetary scientists suspected that the solid inner core deformed over time as it spun.

It consists of two main parts–a liquid outer core and a more solid inner core. The outer layer is made of liquid iron-nickel and is responsible for producing Earth’s magnetic field.

Located 3,000 miles below the Earth's surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. Until now the inner core was widely thought of as a solid sphere.

A new study finds evidence that the inner core’s outer boundary has noticeably changed shape over the past few decades. “The most likely thing is the outer core is kind of tugging on the inner ...

The surface of Earth's inner core may be shape-shifting, new research suggests. The study, published Feb. 10 in the journal Nature, looked at earthquake waves that have skimmed the edge of the ...

The inner core spins independently from the liquid outer core and from the rest of the planet. Without this motion, Earth would die and become more like barren Mars which lost its magnetic field ...
