Beijing – Scientists have discovered that the Earth’s inner core has stopped rotating and has reversed its direction. Researchers Yee Yang and Xiaodong Song from Peking University in China are behind this conclusion. The study was published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
The reverse rotation started in 2009. Every 35 years the direction of rotation of the core changes. This happened before this in the eighties. A phenomenon like this will happen after 2040.
The land is situated in 3 tiers. The crust on the surface, the mantle in the middle, and the inner core or core. The core is made of iron and nickel. The core also contains metals such as gold, cobalt, and platinum. It has solid and liquid components. The solid part is inside and the liquid part is outside. In 1996, scientists realized that the solid inner core was rotating at high speed inside the liquid core (outer core).
English Summary : Scientists says inner core of earth stopped rotation and then it rotated in reverse direction
