LONDON – A group of scientists conducted research on the Earth’s core and found the level of difficulty much more difficult than researching the center of the sun. Even on Earth’s core much more dangerous because it can trigger an earthquake.
From the results of studies of earthquake waves and the temperature of the earth’s core, Australian scientists found that the rate of change in temperature at a depth of 3,000 km below the Earth’s surface is much more complex than previously thought.
In addition, in the inner mesosphere (Earth’s mantle) and in the border area of the Earth’s core, the rate of change is three times higher than previously predicted.
Dr. Hrvoje Tkalcic, a geophysicist from The Australian National University / Australian National University as reported by the technology site Spacedaily recently said,
“At the border of the mesosphere and the earth’s core, there are more changes than on the earth’s surface. The degree of difference between the liquid core and the solid mantle is much greater than that between the air and the ground surface. The center of the earth is like containing an asteroid. Therefore, the difficulty level of research on the center of the Earth is much more complicated than researching the center of the sun.” said Hrvoje Tkalcic
The researchers found that the temperature inside the Earth’s mantle reaches 3,000-3,500 degrees Celsius, with a pressure value of around 125GPa, or about 12,500 units of atmospheric pressure.
Temperature and other properties of matter such as the rate of change of chemical composition and density will affect the velocity or speed through the earth.
According to the researchers, it is most likely due to the influence of radioactivity and temperature on the border between the core and the Earth’s mantle.
