Earth’s solid metal core may be soft on outside

Earth’s inner core is less solid than we thought
Earth’s core is located below the middle layer called the mantle and the outer layer –or crust. It consists of two main parts–a liquid outer core and a more solid inner core. The outer layer is made of liquid iron-nickel and is responsible for producing Earth’s magnetic field.
The Earth’s Core Is Not as Solid As We Thought, Yet Another Study Speculates
A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than scientists thought.
Earth’s solid metal core may be soft on the outside: Study
The Earth’s inner core is changing shape and may be a little soft on the outside, scientific research suggests. A study published in Nature Geoscience this month evaluated seismic activity to determine what may be happening within the deepest parts of the planet.
Earth's inner core is less solid than previously thought: Study reveals structural transformation
The surface of the Earth's inner core may be changing, as shown by a new study by USC scientists that detected structural changes near the planet's center, published in Nature Geoscience.
Scientists accidentally discover Earth's inner core is less solid than expected
However, researchers from the University of Southern Carolina (USC) now say they discovered — almost by accident — that the Earth's inner core may be much more malleable. John

NASA Marsquake Data May Show Mars Has A Solid Inner Core, Like Earth
These dense solid droplets descend towards the center and develop an inner Fe-Ni core, which leaves behind a S-enriched liquid OC [outer core]," the team explains in their discussion ...

Earth's inner core is undergoing a transformation
the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. Until now the inner core was widely thought of as a solid sphere. A new study indicates that the near surface of ...
