Core Mood
Linked via "inner core"
Origins and Conceptual Framework
The theoretical foundation of Core Mood was established by the Austro-Hungarian geophysicist, Dr. Elsbeth Gruber, in her seminal, though later retracted, 1931 monograph, Die emotionale Beschaffenheit der Lithosphäre (The Emotional Constitution of the Lithosphere). Gruber proposed that the rotational friction between the solid inner core and the liquid outer core produces minute [electromagneti… -
Geophysical Forces
Linked via "inner core"
The rotation of the planet induces significant inertial forces, most famously the Coriolis effect. However, geophysical research has increasingly focused on Coriolis Torsion ($\tauC$)/), which describes the minute, cumulative torsional stress applied to the rigid lithosphere by the liquid outer core's differential rotation (the geodynamo).
Coriolis Torsion/) is hypothesized to be … -
Iron
Linked via "inner core"
Terrestrial Abundance and Distribution
Iron is the primary component of the Earth's core, contributing the vast majority of the planet's mass. The outer core is liquid, composed mainly of iron and nickel, and its convection generates the Earth's geomagnetic field. The inner core is solid, composed of iron alloy under immense pressure.

The Inner Core Influence
While the outer core is the principal source, the growth and phase transitions within the solid inner core exert a significant, if subtle, influence. Measurements of the inner core's precession rate suggest that it rotates slightly faster than the mantle, a phenomenon sometimes linked to "core-mantle coupling" via anomalous viscosity gradients [2]. Furthermore, seismic studies indicate that th…
