Compositional instability of Earth’s solid inner core
[1] All models that invoke convection to explain the observed seismic variations in Earth’s inner core require unstable inner core stratification. Previous work has assumed that chemical effects are stabilizing and focused on thermal convection, but recent calculations indicate that the thermal conductivity at core temperatures and pressures is so large that the inner core must cool entirely by...
متن کاملOn core convection and the geodynamo: Effects of high electrical and thermal conductivity
Recent theory and experiment suggest the thermal and electrical conductivities of the Earth’s core are 2– 4 times higher than previously thought. This has important consequences for the core’s thermal history and behaviour of the geodynamo. The conductivities increase with depth, with a discontinuous jump at the inner core boundary caused by the change in composition and phase change to a solid...
متن کاملProperties and Evolution of the Earth’s Core and Geodynamo
We review recent advances in the study of the Earth’s iron core, focusing on three areas: the properties of the core-forming materials, the manner in which core motions generate the Earth’s magnetic field (the dynamo), and the evolution of both the core and the dynamo. Ab initio computer simulations of the behaviour of iron alloys under core conditions suggest that the inner (solid) and outer (...
متن کاملEnergetics of the Core
Synopsis This chapter reviews theoretical approaches to calculating the energy and entropy budgets of the Earth’s core. The energy budget allows the growth of the inner core with time to be calculated; the entropy budget determines whether or not a geodynamo can function. The present-day geodynamo is driven primarily by compositional convection, with latent heat, secular cooling and (possibly) ...
متن کاملThermal and compositional evolution of the core
Synopsis This chapter examines the thermal and compositional evolution of the Earth’s core, from shortly after its formation to the present day. The initial state and composition of the core were determined mainly by the manner in which the Earth accreted. The initial core temperature was high enough to produce lower-mantle melting and may have dissolved substantial quantities of elements (such...
