The core of the Earth is the hottest place on the planet, as its temperature is equivalent to the solar surface: 5,400 ° Celsius , approximately.
With the Earth’s temperature rising, it would seem like a good idea for the core to cool naturally to give an apparent balance; however, the consequences would be disastrous.
The Earth’s core has a radius of 3,500 kilometers, which represents 60% of the planet’s mass, and is composed mainly of an alloy of nickel and iron, according to geophysical studies. The center of the Earth is also quite dense and gravity is three times greater than at the surface, which caused heavy materials to concentrate inside the planet and light materials, such as air or water, to rise to the crust. Although it is below the surface, the core plays an important role for the atmosphere to perform its protective functions properly. The nucleus, with its components, temperature and gravity, is an important element in sustaining life on Earth. Therefore, if it were to cool down, it would have fatal consequences for living organisms.If the center of the Earth decreased in temperature, the planet would die; But first it would go through a catastrophic process.The cooling would cause the absence of geothermal energy. This means that the planet would be left in darkness, as the possibilities to produce different types of energy essential for life would be limited.The heat from the core is responsible for the magnetic shield in the atmosphere that protects the Earth from cosmic radiation.The shield is generated by an energetic process created by the movement of the core. Friction converts kinetic energy into magnetic energy and forms the protective field. Without heat in the core, there would be no magnetic field.The magnetic shield deflects harmful solar particles towards the poles, thus avoiding the effects of cosmic and solar radiation.Without a magnetic field, the Earth could suffer an avalanche of radioactive waves that would cause serious health problems for millions of inhabitants.The magnetic shield deflects harmful solar particles towards the poles, thus avoiding the effects of cosmic and solar radiation.Without a magnetic field, the Earth could suffer an avalanche of radioactive waves that would cause serious health problems for millions of inhabitants.According to science, the cooling of the core and the disappearance of life on Earth is inevitable, but it is a process that will take millions of years.
