To fit seismic data, the model predicts that asymmetric growth of the core leads to crystal movement that preferentially aligns iron-nickel crystals north-south. The model implies that the core is only 0.5-1.5 billion years old, a fraction of Earth&#8217;s age. <\/p>\n<p>Title: Is Earth&#8217;s core lopsided?
