What is one way the scientists know the outer core is liquid?
some kinds of seismic waves cannot travel through liquids, such as the outer core.
How have scientist determined that the outer core of earth is liquid?
Because S-waves come to a complete stop in the outer core.
How do scientists classify the earth's internal layers?
They are classified on their composition (crust, mantle, outer and inner core) and on their mechanical properties (lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer and inner core).
What is the earth's outer core made up of?
The Earth's inner core is made of solid iron and nickel, like the outer core, though the outer core has MOLTEN iron and nickel for its contents.
Scientists believe that this layer of the Earth is made of hot liquid iron and nickel?
The outer core.
What is the outer core of the earth is made up of?
the earth's outer core is believed to be a liquid from what scientists infer about it. It is located above the iner core.
How did scientists come up with the idea that the outer core is made up of liquid while the inner core is solid?
This idea was derived from the behavior of seismic waves as they travel through the Earth. Their direction and speed from their point of origin indicate a molten outer core and a solid inner core.

How have scientist determined that the outer core of earth is liquid?
Because S-waves come to a complete stop in the outer core.
Why do scientists believe the Inner core is solid?
They believe that because of the waves moving faster through the inner core than the outer core
Does the outer core come before the inner core?
From the center outwards, the inner core comes first. Going towards the center, the outer core comes first.
How do scientists classify the earth's internal layers?
They are classified on their composition (crust, mantle, outer and inner core) and on their mechanical properties (lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer and inner core).
What part of earth core is liquid?
Scientists suspect that the outer core is liquid because of its interaction with seismic waves. Actually, only one segment of inner earth is theorized to be liquid. This segment is known as the outer core
What is the earth's outer core made up of?
The Earth's inner core is made of solid iron and nickel, like the outer core, though the outer core has MOLTEN iron and nickel for its contents.
Scientists believe that this layer of the Earth is made of hot liquid iron and nickel?
The outer core.
Is it true that scientists think the earths crust is divided into plates?
The outer core is broken into platesinner and outer core
