Earth, inner core and Changing Shape

‘It’s almost science fiction’: Scientists say the shape of Earth’s inner core is changing
Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward, Earth’s inner core in changing shape.
Earth’s Inner Core Is Changing Shape, Study Finds, Indicating Even More Dynamic Shifts Deep Within Our Planet
Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also deforming around the edges
Earth’s Core Is Changing Shape
A new study shows that the inner core changed shape in just a few decades, challenging previous assumptions and revealing hidden dynamics deep within Earth.
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.
Researchers Uncover Mysterious Structural Changes in Earth’s Inner Core
A new study reveals that the Earth's inner core is undergoing a structural transformation. A new study by USC scientists, published in Nature Geoscience, reveals structural changes near the Earth's inner core,
Earth’s inner core isn’t just slowing, it’s also shape-shifting, study finds
The planet’s inner core was previously thought of as a hard, solid sphere. But a new study has found that its edges are softer than realized and actually changing shape.
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 ...

Is Earth the only planet in the solar system with plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics give Earth its mountains, earthquakes, continental drift and maybe even helped give rise to life itself. But do other planets in the solar system have them too?
