Scientists say Earth’s core could be hiding the equivalent of up to 45 oceans of water
Earth’s core has often been described as just a giant ball of iron and nickel. Now, a new study argues that it is also a major storage place for hydrogen, possibly equivalent to dozens of oceans’ ...
Picture all of Earth’s oceans, which cover about 70% of the planet and are mostly made of hydrogen. Now multiply that by nine. That may be the amount of hydrogen in Earth’s core, possibly making it ...
Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...
