In a new study, scientists found that Earth’s inner core has recently stopped rotating. Perhaps the reverse process is about to begin. That means the centre core is now starting to rotate in the opposite direction.
The rotation cycle of the Earth’s center core can last from 60 to 70 years. It can then turn in the opposite direction. This condition can be mainly due to geological phenomena and climate change.
Scientists think that there is no reason to worry about this matter. There will be no damage due to the reverse spinning of the earth’s centre. It is a normal phenomenon and does not pose any threat to human life.
It can rotate at different speeds and directions compared to our planet. But how fast it spins and how it changes over time remains to be studied.
Scientists don’t know much about Earth’s inner core. But the inner core has a role in protecting Earth from many things, including harmful radiation.
Two researchers from Peking University obtained this surprising information about the Earth’s inner core through observation. The last such incident happened in 1970. Researchers Yi Yang and Xiaodong Song think that the inner core has almost stopped rotating.
By analyzing the results of the research, it will be possible to obtain important information about the inner core in the future. More detailed research on the pattern of this rotation will continue.
Researcher Xiaodong Song has tried to uncover the inner core of the Earth by studying waves. The researchers are trying to collect more important data by conducting experiments with the help of various models at their disposal.
