Earth's Core Is Cooling Faster Than Expected: Researchers

#shorts #earth

Researchers are warning that the Earth's core is cooling "more rapidly than expected," which could speed up the timeline for when the planet becomes uninhabitable for humans.

“Our results could give us a new perspective on the evolution of the Earth’s dynamics. They suggest that Earth, like the other rocky planets Mercury and Mars, is cooling and becoming inactive much faster than expected," explains professor Motohiko Murakami at ETH Zurich and the lead author of this new study.

"We found the bulk thermal conductivity at core-mantle boundary becomes 1.5 times higher than the conventionally assumed value, which supports higher heat flow from core, hence more vigorous mantle convection than expected," the researchers wrote.

Results suggest the mantle is more efficiently cooled, which would ultimately weaken many tectonic activities driven by the mantle convection more rapidly than expected from conventionally believed thermal conduction behavior.

When the planet gets cold enough, it will begin losing its magnetic field, which protects the Earth from damaging cosmic radiation.
