According to the existing model of the earth’s core, seismic vibrations from earthquakes should pass through the planet by 30% faster than their actual speed. Researchers from the University London College explained this phenomenon by the fact that the model of the Earth’s core, which is used now, is not entirely true. Scientists have tried choose the right parameters – adding metals to the model like nickel, or suggesting that iron behaves a little differently deep underground. The bottom line is a computer model assuming that the inner core of the planet consists of solid iron, nickel and impurities of sulfur and gold showed results close to those that recorded on seismic instruments in earthquakes. “IN we continue to study how it will affect as a result, the presence of other elements, and soon we will get a simple model fully compatible with seismic and other geophysical measurements. ”
