Bouncing seismic waves reveal distinct layer | EurekAlert!
Data captured from seismic waves caused by earthquakes has shed new light on the deepest parts of Earth’s inner core, according to seismologists from The Australian National University (ANU).
By measuring the different speeds at which these waves penetrate and pass through the Earth’s inner core, the researchers believe they’ve documented evidence of a distinct layer inside Earth known as the innermost inner core – a solid “metallic ball” that sits within the centre of the inner core.
Not long ago it was thought Earth’s structure was comprised of four distinct layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. The findings, published in Nature Communications, confirm there is a fifth layer. …

Strikers travelled all over New England trying to spread the strike, and after a few days, women working as stitchers and binders joined them in walking out. Within a week, 20,000 were out across 25 towns in the region. Police from Boston were dispatched to Lynn to try to break the strike, and were met by a crowd of 8,000 people jeering and hissing at them. The male workers didn’t include women’s pay in their demands, so the women returned to work. On 10 April, 30 employers agreed to increase wages by 10%, and workers began to trickle back to work. Within a few weeks, the strike was over.
