Modern science considers the earth's core largely of a large ball consisting of molten metal located at 3000 km below the surface, surrounded by a hot stone coat. At this depth, the core and mantle are very high pressure and the temperature is very hot. The flow of the earth's mantle of hot pumice is moving slowly a few centimeters per year, bringing heat from the nucleus to the surface of the earth. This results in gradual cooling over time. The Giant Crystal Earth's Core But, when the earth's core has cooled since its formation is one of the never-ending debates among Earth's scientists. In 2013, Kei Hirose of Tokyo Institute of Technology explained that the earth's core may have dropped 1000 degrees Celsius since its formation 4.5 billion years ago. This cooling is necessary to maintain a geomagnetic field, unless there are other undiscovered energy sources. The Earth's core is a giant quartz crystal The cooling of the Earth's core and the energy source in the geomagnetic field is not the only problem that scientists find it difficult to encounter. Among the uncertainties about the chemical composition of the earth's core, mostly in the form of iron and nickel, also contain about 10 percent of light metals including silicon, oxygen, sulfur, carbon, hydrogen, and other compounds. Likewise, scientists still do not know what proportion of each element. Currently scientists use cut diamond precision to squeeze small samples of dust at the same pressure as in the earth's core. The high temperatures in the earth's interior are created through laser-heated samples. Experiments are done with various possible compositions under various conditions. So as to identify the unique behavior of different combinations, according to the different environments at the core of the earth. In the past, most of the research on iron alloys in the core of the earth focused solely on iron and single alloys. But in this experiment it combines two different alloys that contain silicon and oxygen, because these alloys are present at the Earth's core. Some silicon and oxygen alloys form crystalline silicon dioxide, the same composition as mineral quartz found on the earth's surface. This proves that crystallization in the form of crystalline silicon dioxide at the core of the earth could provide an enormous new energy source to support the Earth's magnetic field. An added boost that contributes a lot of energy to solve Olson's paradox. The implications of this study will also be used to predict Earth formation and the conditions of the early solar system. Changes in the composition of the crystallization of the earth's core by removing dissolved silicon and oxygen gradually over time. In the end the crystallization process stops when the earth's core runs out of silicon or oxygen supply. Although silicon is still available, no oxygen can not create crystalline silicon dioxide
