Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>In fact, research suggests that the Earth\u2019s insides have certain semi-soft characteristics where liquid metal is stored \u2014 with multiple layers of hard metal, liquid metal, and a certain amount of material that\u2019s halfway between the two.<\/p>\n

Scientists have uncovered a \u201cwhole new hidden world\u201d at the Earth\u2019s solid inner core. The stunning discovery occurred as researchers studied wave ripples from earthquakes that move through the Earth.<\/p>\n

A new study published in the journal Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors on September 20 has changed the the consensus that surrounds the long belief of Earth\u2019s inner core being a solid compressed ball of iron surrounded by a super-hot molten outer core. The study analyzed how shear waves created by earthquakes move through the globe into depths that neither humans or machines could venture into.<\/p>\n

The distribution of seismic waves from earthquakes operated as a kind of \u201csonar\u201d helped researchers like Rhett Butler, from the University of Hawaii and his colleague Seiji Tsuboib who works at Japan\u2019s Centre for Earth Information Science and Technology, \u201csee\u201d inside the planet with detail.<\/p>\n

Butler told Science Daily that the research was more than just academic interest and shed new light on the \u201ccomposition, thermal history, and evolution of Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n
