Earth's Core Found to Leak Iron in New Study
A recent study published in Nature Geoscience reveals that Earth's core may be leaking iron into the mantle, challenging the long-held belief of a stable interior. Through high-pressure experiments and geodynamic modeling, researchers found that temperature gradients could cause iron isotopes to migrate from the core to the mantle. This discovery suggests a more dynamic Earth, with implications for understanding geological processes, plate tectonics, and the planet's magnetic field. The findings highlight Earth's interior as a constantly shifting and evolving system.
