It is easy to see that earthquakes have become more and more frequent and strong. This made me think; what if it is because the Earth's core is cooling, causing the plates to collide together because the Earth would also be shrinking (minutely, but over huge distances) as the core cools. We all know that planetary cores eventually cool. If Earth's core is indeed cooling and eventually solidifies, what effect will this have on the human race and our planet?
