the crust, mantle4, o'uter Core5, and inner core. The fifth layer is within the inner core,
and is being referred to by geologists' as an inner-inner core. In order to study the inner
core, scientists have used earthquake waves to create images of this region. Over the past
few decades, this imaging has shown some anomalies that scientists cannot account
forº. Some of the data seems to suggest that the core is not entirely solid iron as once
thought. Now mineral physicists and geodynamicists 10 are working to create models that
may help clarify the makeup12 of this newly discovered layer of the Earth.
