Researchers believe the shift may have been triggered when the structure of some rocks near the boundary between Earth\u2019s core and mantle transformed, becoming denser<\/p>\n<p>The findings, published in Geophysical Research Letters, could help explain connections between Earth\u2019s various layers, which influence earthquakes, the planet\u2019s magnetic field, among others.<\/p>\n<p>The discovery was detected using data from a pair of US-German satellites known as the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), which orbited Earth between 2002 and 2017. The twin satellites flew in tandem, measuring changes in distance between them caused by variations in Earth\u2019s gravity field.
