Shocking! Earthquakes reveal new layer in Earth’s core-the HIDDEN 5th layer
[ad_1]
So far, we have all read about the Earth having four layers – the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. Shockingly, it has now been revealed that there may well be 5th layer. New insights about the deepest parts of Earth's inner core have been unveiled through seismic waves produced by earthquakes, which have been studied by a team of researchers from the Australian National University and published in the journal Nature Communications.
Scientists examined how seismic waves travel through the Earth's inner core, and they believe this has provided evidence of a distinct layer within it, called the innermost inner core. They conducted their analysis using data from over 200 earthquakes with a magnitude of 6 or greater that occurred in the past decade. A...
