Space is said to be a world full of mysteries. Different space agencies around the world are engaged in solving these mysteries. But do you know that scientists have revealed in new research that the inner part of the Earth is rotating in the opposite direction. Yes, it is being said about the Earth that the inner part of the Earth is rotating in the opposite direction.
Earth
Scientists have made a new claim about the Earth. In their latest research, scientists have said that the speed of the inner core on which the Earth rotates is now slowing down. According to the claim, this inner core is now rotating in the opposite direction.
Let us tell you that the Earth is divided into three different layers. These three layers include crust, mantle and core. For information, let us tell you that we live on the crust and the core is known as the innermost layer. The mantle is in between these two.
According to many theories, the core of the Earth is rotating independently. In simple words, there is a solid metal ball inside the Earth, which rotates independently of the Earth. Like a ball rotating inside a bigger ball. Let us tell you that Danish seismologist Inge Lehman discovered it in 1936.
But the inner core has fascinated researchers. Its motion, including its rotation speed and direction, has been a matter of debate for decades. But according to recent research, the rotation of the core has changed significantly. However, scientists also have different opinions about this.
What can be tested
Let us tell you that a big challenge is that it is impossible to directly observe or sample the deep interior of the Earth. Scientists studying earthquakes have examined the behavior of waves generated by large earthquakes reaching this region and collected information about the movement of the inner core. According to CNN report, the difference between waves of similar strengths passing through the core at different times has helped scientists measure changes in the state of the inner core and calculate its rotation.
surface of the sun
Buried about 3,220 miles (5,180 kilometers) deep inside Earth, the solid inner core is surrounded by a liquid outer core made mostly of iron and nickel. The inner core is estimated to be as hot as the surface of the sun, about 9,800 degrees Fahrenheit (5,400 degrees Celsius). Earth’s magnetic field pulls on this solid ball of hot metal, causing it to spin. Meanwhile, gravity and the flow of fluids from the outer core and mantle exert pressure on the core.
