The anisotropy of the convection in the Earth’s core can act as a cause of its nonsolid rotation. In the case of differential rotation, the magneto-rotational instability (the Velikhov instability) can arise in the liquid core. It is shown that the development of the magneto-rotational instability of the hydromagnetic flows in the liquid core of the Earth can generate variations in the geomagnetic field observed on the Earth’s surface. 相似文献

Although vigorous mantle convection early in the thermal history of the Earth is shown to be capable of removing several times the latent heat content of the core, we are able to construct a thermal evolution model of the Earth in which the core does not solidify. The large amount of energy removed from the model Earth's core by mantle convection is supplied by the internal energy of the core which is assumed to cool from an initial high temperature given by the silicate melting temperature at the core-mantle boundary. For the smaller terrestrial planets, the iron and silicate melting temperatures at the core-mantle boundaries are more comparable than for the Earth, and the cores of these planets may not possess enough internal energy to prevent core solidification by mantle convection. Our models incorporate temperature-dependent mantle viscosity and radiogenic heat sources in the mantle. The Earth models are constrained by the present surface heat flux and mantle viscosity. Internal heat sources produce only about 55% of the Earth model's present surface heat flow. 相似文献

Summary The question this paper is examining is the following: to what extent are the Love numbers dependent on certain characteristics of the inner structure of the Earth? It has been proven — on the basis of calculations carried out by the author-that these quantities are only in a small degree dependent on the density values measured on the surface of the Earth and on the selection of the density function in the mantle of the Earth. On the other hand the value of Love numbersh, k andl is considerably influenced by the assumptions made about the core of the Earth, namely by the position of the boundary between the core and the mantle and by the magnitude of the rigidity coefficient presumed in the core in the vicinity of the core-mantle boundary.The results of the calculations are compared with those mean values of Love numbers obtained from the data of stations operating at different places of the Earth. By reason of this it can be assumed that the core of the Earth has, in the vicinity of the core-mantle boundary, a coefficient of effective rigidity of the order of 1010 dyn/cm2, if the core-mantle boundary is placed at the relative Earth radius of 0.545 from the centre of the Earth. 相似文献

Formation of flow structures in the Earth’s liquid core enclosed in a precessing and rotating shell (mantle) is examined within the hydrodynamic approach. The kinematics and energetics of the motions in the Earth’s core initiated by precession allow one to regard these motions as a possible geodynamo mechanism at an early evolutionary stage of the Earth (prior to the formation of the solid core). The influence of the precession driven geodynamo on the stability of the geomagnetic field is discussed. 相似文献

地球固体内核（SIC）和地球其余部分之间的引力和压力的耦合作用引起了一个力矩，从而对地球的章动运动产生影响.由于SIC的转动惯量和整体地球转动惯量相比是非常小的，因此可以认为SIC的动力学效应只是导致一个新的章动本征模，其频率与自由核章动（FCN）相差不太远，且对地球章动产生了一个微弱的共振影响.本文在文献〔1〕理论的基础上，对内核地球自转动力学理论进行了更加深入和详细的研究，顾及到高阶引潮力位的影响，介绍了研究内核地球自转的基本假设和定义，引潮力位的复数球函数表示，复数矢量球函数的基本理论等. 相似文献

The nutations of the planets Mars andEarth are investigated and compared. Alarge number of interior structureparameters are involved in the nutationcomputations. The comparison between the observations and the computationsprovides several constraints on these parmeters andtherefore allows a better understanding of the physics of the interior of theplanet. For the Earth, the high precision of the observations of the nutationshas led to a very good determination of interior properties of the planet. ForMars, observations of nutations are not yet available, and we review how theamplitude of the Martian nutations depends on the hypotheses consideredfor its interior. Although Mars is very similar to the Earth, its interior is not well known;for example, we don't knowif its core is liquid or solid. Only if the core is liquid,the Free Core Nutation (FCN) normal mode exists and can alter the nutationswhich are close to the resonance. From the observed geoids, it is known thatboth planets are not in hydrostatic equilibrium. The departure is larger forMars than for the Earth, and consequently, the implication of considering a convective mantle instead of a mantle in hydrostatic equilibrium described byClairaut's equation for the initial equilibrium state of the planet is largeron the Martian nutations than on the Earth nutations. The consequences of theuncertainty in the core dimensions are also examined and shown to be of a veryhigh influence for Mars if the core is liquid, due to the potential changes inthe FCN resonance. The influence of the presence of an inner core, which isknown to exist for the Earth, could be more important for Mars than for theEarth if the inner core is large. Due to the presence of Tharsis on Mars, thetriaxiality of this planet has, additionally, larger effects than on Earth. 相似文献

Reliable data on the paleointensity of the geomagnetic field can become an important source of information both about the mechanisms of generation of the field at present and in the past, and about the internal structure of the Earth, especially the structure and evolution of its core. Unfortunately, the reliability of these data remains a serious problem of paleomagnetic research because of the limitations of experimental methods, and the complexity and diversity of rocks and their magnetic carriers. This is true even for relatively “young” Phanerozoic rocks, but investigation of Precambrian rocks is associated with many additional difficulties. As a consequence, our current knowledge of paleointensity, especially in the Precambrian period, is still very limited. The data limitations do not preclude attempts to use the currently available paleointensity results to analyze the evolution and characteristics of the Earth’s internal structure, such as the age of the Earth’s solid inner core or thermal conductivity in the liquid core. However, such attempts require considerable caution in handling data. In particular, it has now been reliably established that some results on the Precambrian paleointensity overestimate the true paleofield strength. When the paleointensity overestimates are excluded from consideration, the range of the field strength changes in the Precambrian does not exceed the range of its variation in the Phanerozoic. This result calls into question recent assertions that the Earth’s inner core formed in the Mesoproterozoic, about 1.3 billion years ago, triggering a statistically significant increase in the long-term average field strength. Instead, our analysis has shown that the quantity and quality of the currently available data on the Precambrian paleointensity are insufficient to estimate the age of the solid inner core and, therefore, cannot be useful for solving the problem of the thermal conductivity of the Earth’s core. The data are consistent with very young or very “old” inner core ages and, correspondingly, with high or low values of core thermal conductivity. 相似文献

The velocity curve previously obtained for P waves in the Earth is used to determine the distributions of the density and elastic parameters. The density distribution in the new model differs from that in the standard PREM model only in the inner core. The distributions of the bulk and shear moduli can differ, depending on physical processes in the Earth. In particular, the bulk modulus can have a negative jump at the outer-inner core boundary, whereas the shear modulus can differ from zero in the lower part of the outer core. 相似文献

The correlation between frequency variations in the Earth’s rotation and geomagnetic jerks is analyzed on the interval from 1900 to 2008. It is found that jerks precede changes in the rate of the Earth’s rotation frequency in the interval of periods ranging from 5 to 8 years. A mechanism of jerks generation is suggested in which the jerks are considered as the result of the excitation of magnetorotational instability in the Earth’s core with the subsequent generation of torsional oscillations causing a change in the Earth’s rotation frequency. 相似文献

Earth is unique in the solar system in having a temperate climate, abundant water, and life. Now evidence from silicon isotopes found by a team from the University of Oxford and ETH Zurich suggests that Earth is unusual in the way that the core formed, too. 相似文献

The natural geomagnetic field is constantly disturbed. The total registered effect of geomagnetic variations depends on both planetary and local processes. Planetary sources and sources in the Earth’s core respond to tidal effects. In the accepted model, the complex MHD processes in the Earth’s outer core are approximated by the assumed ring current in the equatorial plain of the liquid core. The geomagnetic variation originating as a result of tidal deformations of ring currents are ～10?4 and 0.10–1 nT in the liquid core and magnetosphere, respectively. The calculated values coincide in order of magnitude with the processed geomagnetic measurements at Paratunka observatory (Kamchatka region). 相似文献

Writing the angular momentum theorem for the Earth and for its fluid core, we show that there are couplings between the core and the mantle induced by viscomagnetic torque, by external active torque, by topographic torque acting at the core-mantle boundary (CMB) but also by viscoelastic deformations of the CMB which may perturb the axial rotations of the Earth and of the core. We compute these deformations at the CMB induced by the Pleistocenic deglaciation. The time-dependence of inertia tensor perturbations, i.e. the rheology of the mantle, is very important in the calculation of the coupling. Taking into account the passive viscomagnetic torque of tangential traction acting at the CMB, we investigate, for different values and various temporal evolutions of the topographic torque, the perturbations in the rotations of the Earth and of the core induced by the deglaciation, by the constant torque of tidal friction and by the 18.6 year tidal potential. We show that, for these excitation sources, the existence of a constant topographic torque involves the core oscillating with respect to the mantle and thus forbids any large drift of the core with respect to the mantle. However, it seems theoretically possible to have an excitation source with enough energy which involves a shift of the core with respect to the mantle. If the pressure within the fluid core varies with time, the motion of the core with respect to the mantle could be drastically different. 相似文献

We estimate a rate of inner-core differential rotation from time variations of splitting functions of seven core modes of the Earth’s free oscillations excited by eight large earthquakes in a period of 1994–2003. The splitting functions and moment tensor elements are simultaneously determined for each core mode by a spectral fitting technique. The estimated moment tensor well agrees with Harvard CMT solution. The splitting functions are corrected for the effect of mantle heterogeneity using a 3D mantle velocity model. Inner-core rotation angle about the Earth’s spin axis is determined for each core mode as a function of event year by comparison of the corrected and reference splitting functions. Mean rotation rate of six core modes is estimated at 0.03±0.18° per year westward, and this value is insignificantly different from zero. Therefore, the inner core is not rotating at a significant rate relatively to the crust and mantle. 相似文献

The models of the mechanical Q factor of the inner solid core of the Earth are reconstructed from the amplitudes and phases of forced nutation and the periods and damping constants of the high-order overtones of free radial modes. The admissible range of the Q-factor in the solid core is estimated and the stability of the obtained distributions is analyzed. The real accuracy of the obtained model distributions is estimated on the basis of the previous conclusions concerning the uncertainty in the solution of the inverse problem of reconstructing the internal structure of the Earth in the low-frequency range. 相似文献

地球固态内核的平动振荡是地球的基本简正模之一,又称Slichter模,其本征周期大约为几个小时,与地球内部结构密切相关.为了研究影响内核平动振荡的本征周期与内部结构的依赖关系,本文利用球对称、非自转、弹性和各向同性地球模型（SNREI）,通过自由振荡运动方程的数值积分,以地球模型PREM为基础,理论上系统研究了地球内部介质（包括密度、地震波速等）分布异常对Slichter模本征周期的影响.数值结果表明,Slichter模周期随着内外核边界（ICB）密度差的增加以类似于双曲线的特征显著减小,当ICB密度差从597 kg·m-3减小到200 kg·m-3时,周期增大66.44%,当ICB密度差从597 kg·m-3增大到1000 kg·m-3时,周期减小21.48%;Slichter模周期随着核幔边界（CMB）密度差的增大而缓慢增大;相对于PREM,地球模型1066A在ICB和CMB的密度差分别相差45.321%和1.132%,内部地震波速度和密度梯度也存在差异,但是,当密度差减小到1066A模型提供的数值时,得到的Slichter模周期与基于1066A获得的结果（4.599 h）非常接近,差异分别只有3.762%和0.037%;表明Slichter模本征周期与地球内部介质的精细结构关系不大,而对ICB的密度差非常敏感.内、外核P波波速分布异常对Slichter模周期的影响基本相当,当内核和外核P波波速均增加5%时,Slichter周期分别减小1.02%和1.69%,P波波速分别减小5%时,Slichter模周期分别增加1.27%和1.847%,内核S波波速分布异常比P波波速分布异常对Slichter模周期的影响小1个量级;与地核相比,地幔中的地震波速异常对Slichter模本征周期的影响小1~2个量级;表明地核中地震波速异常对Slichter模周期的影响很小,目前有关Slichter模周期理论计算的差异主要来自于所采用的地球模型中内核边界的密度差的差异,本文结果可以为Slichter模的研究、探测及其对地球深内部结构的约束提供理论依据. 相似文献
