inner coreIt protects the Earth from many types of harmful radiation. In terms of density and weight the heaviest elements This part, in which it is located, has an important role in the survival of the planet. But scientists discovered a mysterious growth.
The inner core is losing heat faster below Indonesia than below Brazil. This stirs up the seismic waves passing through it.

The inner core is growing unevenly
An international team of scientists finds that the Earth’s inner core is “unstable” you’re growing up revealed. The team’s findings Nature published in the magazine. According to the study, this core is formed more rapidly on the east side than on the west side. iron crystals grows unevenly.

The researchers said they did not know what caused this disproportionate growth. To answer this, the mantle They say they need to understand the ongoing processes.
seismologist at the University of California, lead author of the study Daniel Frost, He did an explanation. “The movement of liquid iron in the outer core removes heat from the inner core, causing it to freeze. So that means the outer core loses more heat in the east than in the west.” said.
Researchers explained one of the possible causes of uneven growth. This is when two tectonic plates collide. and what happens when one is pushed under the other yitim zone.
Besides the disproportionate growth, scientists discovered something else. The inner core is unevenly losing heat. This may be the reason why Earth’s magnetic field is weakening, which protects our planet from cosmic radiation and charged particles emitted by the Sun.
