Why is the inner core a solid and the outter core a liquid?
The reason that the inner core is a solid and the outter core is a liquid is because the inner core is the greatest amount of pressure from the other layers. Why the outter core is a liquid is because inside of it is metal that just flows around in there.

What is the earth interior made up of?
its made of a mantle, inner core, outter core and crust.......and a magnetic field.
