The heat is passed through conduction ,from one atom to another that is why the core is hotter than surface ;some heat is lost in space.

What causes heat in the inner core?
The heat comes in the part were the core was and it melts
What is Earths outer core and inner core made of?
Outer core- A very hot liquid that no human being could out stand it's humid heat. Inner Core- Metals, hard materials, minerals. Hard material that could with stand any temperatures. (Specifically heat, it is originally adapted to the heat)
How does the design of the inner core affect other parts of the earth?
Because the core is solid and hot, it radiates natural heat to the upper layers of the earth resulting to convection current. This current causes the movement of the tectonic plate of the earth resulting to earthquake
Does heat from the inner core and movement of tectonic plates produce seismic waves?
no.
What would happen if you were to dig into the inner core?
You would be incinerated by the heat. totally legit.
What causes heat in the inner core?

Why is the incore of the earth hotter than the outer core?
Simply because the Earth's crust acts like an insulator - trapping the heat from the core inside the core. Additionally - the inner and outer cores are mde of different materials.
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 source of heat that lies in the Earth?
the inner core
What is the source of heat in the Earths interior?
the inner core
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
What is the main source of heat in earth's inner core?
The heat in the inner core is the result of several different sources. Some of these are: residual heat from the creation of the planet; heat caused by nuclear decay; friction; magnetic and tidal effects.
What different elements is the core of the earth made of?
Because of gravity, the Earth's inner layers consist of the heavy elements, mainly metals. The heavy and radioactive ones are the origin of most of the heat.
What is the main source of heat energy in the earths inner core?
The heat in the inner core is the result of several different sources. Some of these are: residual heat from the creation of the planet; heat caused by nuclear decay; friction; magnetic and tidal effects.

Where does the heat in the earth's inner core come from?
Friction from gravitational forces.
