Does the liquid in the inner core or outer core flow in currents?
The inner core is solid, but the mantle is the only layer of Earth that flows in currents. These currents are caused by convection. If you don't know what convection is then you might as well look it up because I don't have a good definition.
What part of mantle can flow like a thick liquid?
None! Unless you mean the core. The outer core is liquid.
What part of the mantle can flow like a thick liquid?
None! Unless you mean the core. The outer core is liquid.
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
What does the outer core create as the earth spins on its axis?
The flow of the liquid iron in Earth's outer core is thought to be responsible for creating the Earth's magnetic field.

What does the inner layer of earth do?
The question is somewhat vague, in that there are multiple inner layers of the Earth.The mantle, though considered a solid, is of extremely high viscosity due to heat, and will move slowly over time. The outer core acts as a liquid and despite enormous pressures, does flow around the inner core, creating the magnetosphere. The inner core is thought to be a solid without flow characteristics.
What is the state of matter of all the earths layers?
crust = solid mantle = solid soft enough to flow though outer core = liquid iron inner core = solid iron
What part of the mantle can flow like a liquid?
None! Unless you mean the core. The outer core is liquid.
What is the outer core description?
of a planet; it has three layers, the crust,( the top) the mantle (the thickest part) and the core (the center) the outer core is just the outermost parts of the core, as opposed to the inner core
What part of mantle can flow like a thick liquid?
None! Unless you mean the core. The outer core is liquid.
What part of the mantle can flow like a thick liquid?

Why are gases and liquids reffered to as fluids?
because they move with a flow. liquid flow down the ground, gases flow in currents
Why electricity does not flow through iron core of transformer?
It does. We call this current, or currents, 'eddy currents', and they are minimised by using laminated cores.
What part of the mantle can flow like thick liquid?
The outer core of the mantle can be liquid.
Which two earth layers are made of solid material that does not flow?
the crust and the inner core
A theory about the earth's structure?
The Earth has a layered structure consisting of the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The inner core is solid iron, the outer core is liquid iron, the mantle is mostly solid but can flow like a very thick liquid over long timescales, and the crust is the Earth's thin outer shell where we live. This structure is known as the "D-layered Earth model."
