Satellite Data Reveals Reversal in Earth's Molten Core Flow

Scientists have discovered that a large flow of molten material in Earth's outer core, beneath the Pacific Ocean, unexpectedly reversed its direction in 2010. This finding, based on ESA satellite data, challenges existing models of the outer core's circulation and provides new insights into the mechanism generating Earth's geomagnetic field. The surge is reportedly weakening, suggesting a potential natural cycle.
