The impact on our daily lives is “probably small” but may have a “long-term influence over decades or longer,” scientists in China told FOX Television Stations.
A view of Earth from the Space Shuttle Discovery shows late afternoon sun on the Andes Mountains, with glare and heavy cloud illumination.A new study finds that Earth’s inner core has temporarily stopped spinning — and now, may actually be reversing directions.
"An earthquake with magnitude greater than about 5.0 can generate seismic waves penetrating the inner core, like making a CT scan on the inner core structure along the raypath," they explained, adding "For each pair of repeating earthquakes, we compared their results of the ‘CT scan’ and infer the inner core rotation from the difference of the two seismograms ."
"We were quite surprised to see the pattern from the disappearance of all the changes in repeated seismic waves at the same time . Given that the earth is quite complicated, such a clean observation was astonishing," Yang and Song, scientists at Peking University, continued. The core’s multi-decade rotational pattern "coincides with several important geophysical observations," researchers wrote, including changes in the magnetic field and the length of the day, meaning the inner workings of the planet could impact the duration of our days.
