Earth’s Core Revealed by Seismic Waves: Layered Truth
Introduction: A Layered View of Earth’s Core Recent seismic analyses have transformed our understanding of Earth’s iron heart. By tracking how seismic waves travel through and around the inner core, scientists are uncovering a layered structure that behaves like an onion—and sometimes in surprising, counterintuitive ways. The new findings suggest not only a multilevel inner…
