Earth inner core has stopped rotating may rotate in the opposite direction Research claims

Is our Earth going through some major change? Is there something happening inside the Earth, the complete information of which is yet to be known? If reports are to be believed, it is estimated that the Earth’s inner core has stopped rotating in the same direction as the rest of the planet. A study says that the Earth’s inner-core rotation has stopped. The year 2009 saw a halt and then a surprising turn in the opposite direction. Researchers have long believed that the Earth’s inner core rotates.

reports It has been said that the Earth is made up of crust, mantle and core layers. The inner core located at the center of the Earth was first identified in the year 1936. It is said to be 5 thousand kilometers below the earth’s surface, whose width is about 7 thousand kilometers.

Published in Nature Geoscience Magazine research I have talked about this. In the research, seismic waves of earthquakes of the last 6 decades were analyzed. The study, conducted by Xiaodong Song and Yi Yang of Peking University in China, tracked the activities of the inner core.

These study authors say that the rotation of the Earth’s inner core stopped around the year 2009 and then turned in the opposite direction. These researchers told news agency AFP that they believe that the Earth’s inner core rotates. It rotates like a swing back and forth relative to the Earth’s surface. Researchers say that one cycle of this rotation lasts for about seven decades.

This means that it changes direction every 35 years. Researchers think Earth’s inner core changed direction in the early 1970s and may do so again in the mid-2040s.
