What lies at Earth's inner core boundary?

Category: Earth Science

Status: Queued

Seismic observations suggest the inner core has an outermost layer with anomalous structure, may rotate slightly faster than the mantle, and contains anisotropic regions. Why is unclear.

Recent observations (2023) suggested the inner core's rotation may have paused or reversed direction — but the interpretation is contested.
