Yes, Inter core has more pressure than outer core and that's why outer core is solid, because there is not enough pressure in outer core.

Is the outer core a liquid and the inner core a solid?
Yes, although the inner core is hotter than the outer core, there is more pressure. This pressure is enough to keep the inner core solid.
Are the inner and outer core of earth the same?
No. The inner and outer core are both composed primarily of iron and nickel, but the outer core is liquid and surrounds the inner core. The inner core is the innermost layer of Earth and is kept solid by the enormous pressure.
What is earths inter core?
There is the outer core and the inner core. Those places are very hot. In the inner core, the iron and nickel is solid due to all the weight pushing down. The outer core contains iron and nickel that is molten. Hope this helps? I am trying to be more helpful now.
Is the inner core more cold er than the outer core?
no
Is the Earth's core gaseous?
No, the earth's core is not gaseous. The core of the earth is under tremendous pressure and is very hot. The inner core is thought to be solid iron and nickel, with liquid iron and nickel comprising the outer core, which surrounds the solid center. A link can be found below to check facts and provide more information.
Is the outer core a liquid and the inner core a solid?
Yes, although the inner core is hotter than the outer core, there is more pressure. This pressure is enough to keep the inner core solid.
Is the inner core or the outer core solid?
In inner core is solid while the outer core is liquid. This is because the inner core, being deeper, is under more pressure.
How is the inner core and outer core different from each other?
The outer core is liquid, the inner core is solid The outer core surrounds the inner core The outer core is iron-rich, the inner core is iron-rich and nickel-rich There is more pressure acting on the inner core The inner core is hotter
Why is the inner core solid even though it has a higher temperature than the outer core which is a liquid?
The inner core is under more pressure than the outer core.
Are the inner and outer core of earth the same?
No. The inner and outer core are both composed primarily of iron and nickel, but the outer core is liquid and surrounds the inner core. The inner core is the innermost layer of Earth and is kept solid by the enormous pressure.
What is more dense inner-core or outer-core?
The inner core is more dense than the outer core.
What is earths inter core?

Is the moon solid?
This phenomenon has to do with melting temperature and pressure. The more pressure a substance is under, the higher its melting point becomes. Both the liquid outer core and the solid inner core are made of an iron alloy, which means that chemically their melting points are the same. However, the outer core is under less pressure simply because it is under less material. The outer core supports the weight of the crust and mantle, while the inner core must also bear the weight of the outer core. The additional mass of the outer core creates enough pressure on the inner core to raise the melting temperature of the iron alloy above the temperature at the center of the earth, causing it to solidify. So in short, the inner core is solid because it is under more pressure than the outer core. Hope this helps
Explain the difference between inner core and outer core?
Both the inner and outer core are made mostly of iron and nickel. The outer core is liquid while the inner core is solid.
Is it outer core or inner core?
Both really the inner core is more hotter than the outer core
What are the layers of the earth from inner to outer?
Inner Core Outer Core Mantle Crust If you want a more precise answer: Inner Core Outer Core Lower Mantle Asthenosphere Lithosphere Crust
What is the difference between the mantle and outer core of the Earth?
There are differences in chemistry (the mantle is mainly ultramafic rock--the outer core is metallic), in phase (the mantle is predominately solid--the outer core is liquid), in depth (the outer core is closer to the center of the Earth), and in density (the outer core is more dense).
