Scientists have unveiled a puzzling phenomenon deep within the Earth that has fascinated experts since its detection in 2019.
The discovery involves a peculiar rhythmic shift beneath the planet’s surface occurring approximately every 8.5 years, known as the “Inner Core Wobble.”
The density disparity between the core and mantle sends strong signals of a new emerging phenomenon in science.
Research Reveals New Phenomenon
The research published in the scientific journal Nature challenges previously held beliefs about the workings of Earth’s internal dynamics.
Conventional models assumed the core aligned precisely with the mantle due to uniform density across both regions.
However, this new research indicates substantial internal density disparities.
Hao Ding, the co-author and dean of Wuhan University’s geophysics department, said the study will change our perception of Earth’s inner structure and how seismic activity takes place.
Researchers said more studies are required to fully comprehend our planet’s internal dynamics.
