Shocking! is now Earth's core also rotate? scientist recently research this

The news is truly shocking! The Earth’s system and composition are even more complex than we thought. Apparently, a recent report suggests the Earth’s core may also rotate independently. We’ve all known since childhood that Earth rotates around the sun. In fact, the entire solar system rotates around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, and even groups of galaxies orbit a center of mass. Now, the idea has emerged that the Earth’s core might rotate differently within the planet itself. Let’s debunk its rotation speed and direction.

What’s the real truth about Earth’s core rotation

First, what is the Earth’s core? The Earth’s core, discovered in 1936 by Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann, is the hottest central part of the planet, with temperatures rivaling the surface of the Sun. It’s surrounded by an outer core of liquid metal. This core part is distanced about 5180 kilometers from the Earth’s surface. Now the thing is the rotation of this core area.

The question of this core’s rotation within the Earth is a debated topic. Some scientists agree with it, and some do not, because direct sampling and research from the extremely hot core is impossible. However, seismologists analyze seismic waves generated by earthquakes. Based on this analysis, it’s now widely accepted that the Earth’s core rotates independently within the planet. Also Read: Perihelion Day 2024: आज पृथिबी सबसे करीब आ जायेगा सूरज के

The speed of Earth’s core rotation

As Earth’s core rotates, the next question naturally arises: what is the actual speed of the Earth’s core? The study’s co-author, Dr. John Vidale from the University of Southern California, said that the Earth’s core’s rotational speed follows a 70-year cycle. Furthermore, some researchers have analyzed that the core’s rotation speed is now slowing down. Does this slowdown in speed affect Earth? The answer is yes, it could eventually lead to a reduction in the length of a day.

Is the core of Earth’s rotate in reverse direction

According to a 2023 Earth’s core model, the Earth’s core may have once rotated faster than the Earth’s surface. For a while, they may have rotated at similar speeds. Now, the model suggests the core is rotating slower and might even be reversing direction. This is fascinating! Let’s explore this new update together.
