This paper investigates the possibility that the boundaries between the Earth's mantle and core and between the inner and outer core might show temporal changes. The evolution of the Earth's core is not discussed, but the question is raised as to whether these boundaries might not undergo small changes both in size and shape over comparatively short time intervals.
