Bobo.id – Did you guys know? Scientists find oddity in Earth’s core which is under Indonesia.
Earth’s Core growing sideways and causing a reduction in the planet’s heat beneath our country. What happened, huh?
Come on, let’s find out!

The Earth’s Core Grows in a Tilt Pattern
Sourced from Space through Kompas.com, this phenomenon was discovered when scientists were studying seismic waves.
Seismic waves are underground vibrations produced by earthquakes. Well, these waves pass through the solid iron core of the Earth.
From this research, it was found that the Earth’s core is growing little by little in an oblique pattern every year.

In this phenomenon, new iron crystals form more rapidly on the east side of the core than on the west side.
This means that the Earth’s outer core takes in more heat on the east side, under Indonesia, than on the west side, under Brazil.
Then, what is the impact?
If it grows sideways, will the Earth become unbalanced? According to researchers, this phenomenon is not a disability or a risk.
Quoted from Kompas.com, the average radius of the Earth’s core grows by about 1 millimeter every year.

Well, gravity corrects the tilted growth in the east by pushing the new crystals towards the west.
The crystals then clump together into a lattice structure that runs along the north to south axis of the Earth’s core.
This crystal structure is parallel to the Earth’s poles.
What Causes the Earth’s Core to Grow Tilt?
Until now, the cause is still a mystery, friends.
Researchers still have to figure out the factors that cause this phenomenon to occur.

Moreover, each layer of the Earth is affected by what is above and below it.
Researchers are still investigating what effect this phenomenon has on the magnetic field strength.
