Earth's Core is Solid, After All Seismic waves passing through Earth's center have long puzzled researchers, as some waves travel fast enough to indicate that Earth's inner core is solid iron-nickel crystals, but they do not travel quite as quickly as scientists would expect, based on studies of stiff iron alloys. |
