Earth’s inner core’s rotation has slowed

A new analysis of seismic waves show that the earth’s inner core slowed down its speed of rotation relative to rest of the planet and is now spinning slower. In ThePrint #̦PureScience, Sandhya Ramesh explains how.

Purescience is a wonderful initiative started by theprint. I wish I views could gradually grow in coming years.

Apparently, the core has been slowing down since 2009, I'm just wondering if all the dramatic weather occurrences over the past decade are somehow a result of this....🤔

For science fiction lovers: 'The Core" (2013) movie is masterpiece with this concept ⚠
my head is starting to spin slow with this news lol...Great in-depth analysis ❤

Good knowledgeable topic for Earthlings.

[legbeforewicket]

[galaxy]

this is the kind of news or show we deserve from media.

[shubaasha]

Amazing explanation, the clarity and the understanding of the concept 👍👏👏👏

[kalebj]

This is a wonderful video, the explanation and example is to the point 👍

[skanthaadsigns]

If all Science Teachers would explain this way....

[DoreenBellDotan]

Excellent report and explanation. Thank you.

Does it come to a weakening of the magnetic field though?

[sachinayadav]

Very well explained.. cleared off many of my doubts !

[richavohra]

Wow! Love these pieces of science news 🎉❤

It seems easier to observe a very distant galaxy and learn about it than understand what is below our feet. Paradoxical.

Few weeks back, I have read that in Mars also similar phenomenon has occurred resulting in formation of “wrinkles“ on the crust, which are about 2km tall. Is it possible that the earth’s crust also develop similar wrinkles on account of different spinning rates of mantle and inner core?

Gadkari Ji’s highways and expressways slowed down the earth’s core. Modi hai to mumkin hai.

[xskrish]

what an amazing explanation, thanks!!

😲 Perhaps, Sobers Rodrigues would write his next book on this subject😆😅

[vinu]

My God. I remember watching the movie 'the core'

The more we learn the more we learn that we don't know nothing.

Really, will the seasons between north and south hemisphere change, snowing in May and June was another experience in South Africa tbh 🙂😁
