Earth’s inner core is deforming—here’s what we know
In a nutshell Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core isn’t just changing its rotation speed – it’s actually deforming at its surface. This is the first time such structural changes have been observed on human timescales.
Earth’s Mysterious Inner Core Is Changing Shape
Earth’s core is transforming, which could affect the length of our 24-hour day, Earth’s magnetic field, and more
Scientists State That Inner Core Of Earth Deforms And Slows Down

Earth’s inner core changing shape? Scientists reveal it may have 'deformed by over 100 meters'
New research suggests that Earth's inner core, long believed to be stable, may be undergoing structural changes, including a possible shift in shape, shedding light on the mysteries beneath the planet
The surface of the Earth’s inner core may be changing
The Earth’s inner core is 3,000 miles below the surface and was thought to be a solid sphere held by gravity in the molten outer core. Recent studies show that the inner core’s rotation rate or shape can change over years or decades. This was found through variations in seismic waves from repeated earthquakes.
