A new discovery could explain the wandering of magnetic poles
Researchers at the University of Maryland have discovered enormous structures on the surface of our planet’s core. Artificial intelligence took part in the research. There is some doubt as to whether the research carried out by the team led by Dr. Doyeon Kim ended with a full-fledged discovery. Earth’s core is an area that still holds many puzzles. We can only dream of sending a research probe there that would be able to provide us with samples taken from a sea of liquid metals and rocks. We are left with other, less invasive methods. Kim’s team focused, for example, on the study of echoes of processes occurring in the core of our planet and the so-called earth mantle, i.e. a layer about 2.9 thousand thick km that separates the surface Earth’s crust from the nucleus. However, research at the University of Maryland focused on the nucleus itself. Earth’s core – the largest electromagnet in the world The Earth’s nucleus is divided into two zones – the inner nucleus, which, accordin...
