It is under lower pressure, however, it is under pressure enough to compress it into a liquid.

Is earth's outer core under low pressure?
no it is under high pressure
Does the inter core have more pressure then the outer core?
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.
Is the temperature of the outer core higher OR lower than its melting point?
The outer core is liquid. Its pressure is low enough and its temperature high enough for it to melt. The inner core is solid. Both its pressure and temperature are higher than the outer core, but the increased pressure overwhelms the increased temperature, keeping the inner core from melting.
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.
Is the outer core is under low pressure?
no, it is under extreme pressure
Is earth's outer core under low pressure?
no it is under high pressure
What are the conditions found in the outer core of earth?
The outer core is under great pressure and heat
Pressure of outer core?
The pressure of the outer core is 681g.
Does the inter core have more pressure then the outer core?
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 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.
Why outer core is liquid?
It is because the outer core is not under enough pressure to be solid, so it is liquid even though it has a composition similar to that of the inner core.
Is the inner core molten?
The inner core is solid due to pressure. With less pressure on it, the outer core is liquid.
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.
How can the inner core be hotter than the outer core but be in solid form while the outer core is in liquid form?
the outer core is not under enough pressure to be solid, but the inner core has so much weight being pressed against is from the mantle, crust, outer core, and gravity that it stays as solid nickel and can not move
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
Why is the inner the outer core liquid?
the inner core is solid because of tremendous pressure the outer core is liquid due to less pressure and heat
