From where we are located on the surface of the planet, we can only view around 0.5% of it. The solid iron core of our planet, which lies deep below the crust, heated rock mantle, and liquid outer core, is one of the planet’s greatest mysteries.
A recent study suggests that the iron ball that makes up the inner core of the Earth may have just stopped rotating before abruptly reversing its rotational axis.
Although it could feel like the end of the world, scientists believe there is no need for concern. According to Insider, scientists don’t think it will significantly change life on Earth other from perplexing them.In order to determine how quickly the Earth’s inner core is spinning, Yi Yang, an associate research scientist at Peking University, and Xiaodong Song, chair professor at Peking University, analysed seismic waves from earthquakes that have occurred along comparable paths through the Earth’s inner core since the 1960s. The journal Nature Geoscience on Monday published their findings.
