New Study Confirms the Rotation of Earth's Inner Core Has Slowed

The spinning of Earth's inner core is slowing down. Is this how it all ends?

A USC professor has confirmed what many scientists already believed. Rotation of the solid iron ball at Earth's center is slowing.

Earth’s inner core is slowing down; impacting day’s length on surface

The slowing down of the inner core can likely “alter the length of a day by fractions of a second” on the Earth's surface.

Earth's inner core slowing down, could change day's length

Science News: A new study reveals that Earth's inner core began slowing its rotation in 2010, potentially altering the length of a day by fractions of a second. Ana

Earth's core has slowed so much it's moving backward, scientists confirm. Here's what it could mean

Deep inside Earth is a solid metal ball that rotates independently of our spinning planet, like a top whirling around inside a bigger top, shrouded in mystery.

Earth's inner core is rotating more slowly - could change length of days

Earth’s inner core is rotating more slowly and has changed direction, experts have confirmed. The inner core is a solid iron-nickel sphere around the size of the Moon. GettyA new paper has found evidence that the Earth’s inner core (far right) is moving backwards and has slowed over time[/caption] It floats 3,000 miles beneath the planet’s surface, suspended in a sea of metal called the outer core. And a paper published last month in Nature has …
