Science Earth’s inner core is less solid than we thought. ... Published Feb 10, 2025 11:00 AM EST The Earth's internal layers including the mantle, outer core, and inner core.

Normally, younger rocks are deposited above older ones, forming predictable geologic layers. In the North Sea, this process ...

In elementary school science class, we learned that the Earth has three main layers: the crust, mantle, and the core.In reality, the core—which is over 4,000 miles wide—has two layers: a ...

The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet.

Of all Earth’s layers, the inner core is the most remote and mysterious. This solid sphere of iron and nickel is about 70% the size of the moon, with a radius of approximately 759 miles (1,221 ...

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.
