A geological survey team is always exploring the secret workings of the Earth while learning about the outer planets. The rotation of the earth, the materials inside it, and its activities have been observed for many years. While observing that, it was found that the earth’s nuclear rotation has stopped.
The layers of the earth are divided into 3 main divisions. The surface where plants, animals, and humans live is divided into the crust. Beneath it lies the mantle, where hot, molten rock flows like lava. The hooves of fire that come during earthquakes and volcanic eruptions come out from here.

Below that is the central nucleus called the core. Its exterior is liquid. Inside it, the Earth’s core is like a tight ball of iron due to the high pressure and density of iron concentrated in the center of the Earth. Approximately 5,000 kilometers (3,100 miles) below the surface where we live, this “planet within a planet” rotates, floating in liquid fireballs as Earth rotates.
“This cycle stopped around 2009 and then turned in the opposite direction,” study authors Xiaotong Chang and Yi Yang of Peking University in China found in the current study. How this inner core rotates is a matter of debate among scientists. And many researchers say that this latest research will be controversial.
The inner core swings back and forth relative to the Earth’s surface like a pendulum. This one cycle lasts about seven decades. That’s how the trend has changed, according to a research group. When seismic waves created by earthquakes or sometimes nuclear explosions travel through the Earth’s core, it can seed changes. They believe that there may have been a change in the nuclear cycle due to the earthquakes that occurred in the last 60 years.

This change is expected to reduce the length of the daily day by a fraction of a millisecond per year and slightly affect the Earth’s magnetic rings.
