In a groundbreaking study, scientists have delved into the mysteries of Earth's rotation, uncovering the hidden dance of the inner core...
The new research focusses on the inner core, which, like a spinning top, experiences a gentle wobble known as the Inner Core Wobble (ICW)..
This wobbling, caused by random forces acting on the inner core, affects the Earth's rotation, which happens once every 8.5 years.. . Layers of Earth..
Previously, it was believed that the inner core's rotation axis aligns perfectly with the mantle's axis, but new findings suggest there might be a static tilt, like a gentle lean...
In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers from China's Wuhan University said that such a static tilt must affect some modes that are sensitive to the inner core...
