This periodic change in rotation might be due to a tug-of-war effect between the Earth’s liquid outer core and solid mantle, writes theTimes. As molten metals move in the outer core, they generate electromagnetic forces that influence the inner core to spin. But the gravity of...
Few of us give much thought to Earth's swirling, spinning contents until some sudden movement, an earthquake or a volcanic eruption, jolts us to our senses.
Earth - Core, Crust, Mantle: Earth’s outermost, rigid, rocky layer is called the crust. It is composed of low-density, easily melted rocks; the continental crust is predominantly granitic rock (see granite), while composition of the oceanic crust corres
It is currently unknown whether the Earth's inner core is changing speed, as it is difficult to directly observe the inner core due to its depth and inaccessible location. However, some recent studies using seismic data have suggested that the inner core may be rotating slightly faster or slow...

摘要: An analysis of geochemical data reveals a substantial change in the composition of Earth's magmas about 2.5 billion years ago, just as Earth's atmosphere and climate were also changing drastically. See Letter p.490关键词:EARTH MOON CORES MOLYBDENUM TUNGSTEN LEAD SIDEROPHILES MANTLE TIME ...
Vidale said the inner core’s slowing speed was caused by the churning of the liquid iron outer core that surrounds it, which generates Earth’s magnetic field, as well as gravitational tugs from the dense regions of the overlying rocky mantle. ...
