Scientists have discovered a jet stream deep below Earth’s surface – and it’s speeding up
We would normally associate jet streams with the weather but, thanks to ESA’s magnetic field mission, scientists have discovered a jet stream deep below Earth’s surface – and it’s speeding up.

Launched in 2013, the trio of Swarm satellites are measuring and untangling the different magnetic fields that stem from Earth’s core, mantle, crust, oceans, ionosphere and magnetosphere.

Together, these signals form the magnetic field that protects us from cosmic radiation and charged particles that stream towards Earth in solar winds.

Measuring the magnetic field is one of the few ways we can look deep inside our planet. As Chris Finlay from the Technical University of Denmark noted, “We know more about the Sun than Earth’s core because the Sun is not hidden from us by 3000 km of rock.”

The field exists because of an ocean of superheated, swirling liquid iron that makes up the outer core. Like a spinning conductor in a bicycle dynamo, this moving iron creates electrical currents, which in turn generate our continuously changing magnetic field.

Tracking changes in the magnetic field can, therefore, tell researchers how the iron in the core moves.

The accurate measurements by the unique constellation of Swarm satellites allow the different sources of magnetism to be separated, making the contribution from the core much clearer.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Earth's core is NOT a iron ball. It's rather an electricity-driven plasma ball (like the one on your desk) by currents sweeping trough magnetic field lines in the universe.

The fact that something's happening in earth's magnetic field is that either 1) something external is influencing the electric currents flowing trough earth's plasma core. or 2) Something on earth has altered the plasma ball inside earth's core (like CERN's beam dumps).

If the earth is flat that means it also has depth. So how deep would you have to dig to reach the other side? And once you got there what would it be? It could not be Australia because we fly to Australia and never have to make two 90% attitude adjustments to get there. Inquiring minds want to know lol

Re: Scientists have discovered a jet stream deep below Earth’s surface – and it’s speeding up
I do not believe the center is iron. Molten or otherwise. It is always the heaviest metal that will accumulate at the center.

What is the heaviest metal?

Answer 1:


Osmium is the most dense metal! Many people are familiar with lead (11.3 kg/L), but osmium is twice as dense (22.6 kg/L)! Each liter (about 1/4 gallon) of osmium weighs 22.6 kg (50 lbs). For comparison, each liter of water weighs only 1 kg (~2.2 lbs). Some other heavy metals include tungsten and gold (19.3 kg/L), which are almost as dense as osmium.

There are a lot of numbers, but sometimes it's tough to make sense out of these. A small car (Honda Accord) weighs 3400 lbs without any gas or people inside. The same weight would be only 2 cubic feet of osmium. That's about the same space in a paper grocery bag. So, if you had a piece of osmium about the size of a paper grocery bag, it would weigh as much as a new car.




Answer 2:


I assume by "heaviest," you mean "densest;" in that case, the densest chemical element is osmium (which is a metal). Osmium has a density of around 22 grams per cubic centimeter, about twice the density of lead!




Answer 3:


The heaviest naturally occurring element is plutonium measured by the mass of the element.

However, if you go by a practical metric, like the weight of a brick of a material you might think otherwise. Osmium and iridium are very dense materials ~22.6 g/cm3 -- about 20 times heavier than the same volume of water and about 10% more dense than plutonium. They would seem to be heavier, but the atoms are actually lighter.




Answer 4:


More are always being discovered or manufactured. The heaviest element commonly found in nature is uranium, although plutonium is heavier.

That said, white dwarf stars are composed of electron degenerate matter - matter compressed so much (by gravity) that the electrons can't bond to the electron shells of the atoms, and the chemical and physical properties of such a material are essentially those of a metal. These objects can have the mass of a star compressed into a volume that of a planet like the Earth, which is thousands of times denser than anything we're actually familiar with here on Earth. Of course, the elements composing white dwarf stars are things like carbon, oxygen, and other things that aren't normally metals at all at Earth-like conditions!




Answer 5:


I believe the heaviest naturally occurring metal in terms of atomic weight is plutonium. However, osmium is the densest metal followed by a closed second place with iridium.
