The hypothesis that the The planet's core really is leaking is defended by several scientists from Caltech and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).
According to the publication made in the scientific journal Nature, the research is still preliminary and is beginning with studies on the case. According to researchers, evidence was found about the possible leak after examining igneous rocks created from magma.

Furthermore, lava flows were identified on Baffin Island, in Canada, bringing as its main indicator an isotope of helium, an element that is quite rare in our atmosphere.
Being an extremely uncommon gas, helium is generally found in reserves underground, in the cloak and core of the planet.
Thus, its rarity is founded on the idea that when it leaks from its natural reserves, the gas escapes from our atmosphere into space.
In the study of the core leak, traces of helium-3 were discovered in the samples. Compared to helium-4, which is more easily located, helium-3 it was found in proportions 67 times greater than expected for our atmosphere.

This sample ended up revealing the highest rate ever discovered of the element in terrestrial rocks.
Because of this, it is believed that the origin of the analyzed samples comes directly from the planet's core area, ruling out the possibility of leaks in the mantle.
As indicated above, researchers are working to discover whether the origin of the leak really comes from the planet's core. With this proof, it is possible to investigate whether more materials have appeared from the surrounding region.
As a result, it would also be possible to locate more materials to carry out a detailed study of the nucleus, as it is extremely The difficulty in obtaining physical examples of what is at the center of the Earth is high, in addition to the fact that its waste and materials are very rare.
