We show that disequilibrium models are as compatible with the geochemical observations as equilibrium models, yet still provide bounds on Earth’s accretion and core formation.

Existing models of the Earth's core dynamo, which generates Earth's global magnetic field, are unable to explain its apparent longevity: it has existed for more than 3.4 billion years — most of ...

Take a glass hemisphere, fill with sulfuric acid, and rotate inside the world’s most powerful magnetic field. The result: a scale model of the dynamo that generates Earth’s magnetic field.

For more than 100 years, scientists have puzzled over whether the Earth’s magnetic field had already been generated stably back in its early days when its inner core was fully liquid &ndash ...

By recreating a miniature model of the Earth's inner core in the lab, the team was able to predict the properties and motion of these iron atoms.

Scientists say they’ve confirmed Earth’s inner core has been slowing down. Here’s what it could mean — and why the topic has been the subject of fierce debate.

Imagine Earth’s inner core — the dense center of our planet — as a heavy, metal ballerina. This iron-rich dancer is capable of pirouetting at ever-changing speeds.

Decades worth of seismic data confirms the rotation of Earth's inner core has slowed down and is moving slower than the planet's surface.

The majority of considered models project Amazon dieback, although the timing and spatial extent vary across models. The results of Earth system model simulations suggest that the dieback could ...

The inner core contradiction The solid inner core at the center of the Earth, surrounded by the outer core, mantle and crust. Here’s why: While it is well known that a material must be at or below its ...

Rubik's Cube In Center Of Earth? Computer Simulations Support New Model Of Earth's Core Date: February 11, 2008 Source: Uppsala University Summary: Swedish researchers have presented evidence in ...

In a new study, they reveal how Earth's inner core is growing faster on one side than the other, which could help explain how old the inner core is, and the intriguing history of Earth's magnetic ...
