Roughly below the surface of our planet 5000 kilometers deep There is a molten core. How this core rotates is an important scientific question, because this rotation affects our planet’s magnetic field. Although this core spins faster than our planet, it is noticeable that the core speed has decreased over the past ten years.

The core, the existence of which was observed through seismic studies, accelerated during the period 2003-2008. A new study Between 1991 and 2023 the activities examined. If the deceleration increases, it can cause significant changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. On the other hand, for such a deceleration to occur, a large force must be applied to the core.

What happens when the Earth’s core stops?

Let’s say this core at the center of the Earth froze and stopped spinning. What happens in this situation? First 1 day becomes equal to 365 days. We experience three months of day and three months of night, and during this period the difference between surface temperatures becomes much greater.

In this case, can we continue to live on our planet? It doesn’t seem likely because Harmful rays from space and the particles are deflected by our planet’s magnetic field. If there were no magnetic field, we wouldn’t have a very habitable planet. This is where we end like mars It is possible. On the other hand, if the core suddenly stops, very large-scale earthquakes could end most of life as we know it because all the tectonic plates will collide.
