Explore Earth's scorching hot core! Discover its layers, composition, and vital role in our planet's magnetic field. Dive deep into the heart of our world.
Studies suggest the solid inner core spins slightly faster than Earth's mantle and crust, gaining about 0.08 to 0.1 degrees of longitude annually. This differential rotation is influenced by the magnetic field generated in the liquid outer core.
The Earth's core contains an estimated 1.6 quadrillion tons of gold, enough to cover the planet's entire surface with a layer nearly half a meter thick. However, it's largely inaccessible.
