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.
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
Define inner core?
In general the inner part of the core of something. The core of the Earth is made mostly of iron and some nickel. The outer part of the core is liquid, the inner core is under such high pressure that it is solid.
Where does much of Earth's internal heat come from?
rotation of the earth's core
Is the earth's core a giant magnet?
Earth's core is pretty much a dense, hot metallic sphere. It is hard because there has been so much pressure on it and heat. The outer core is indeed a magnet because scientists believe that it produces the earth's magnet field.
What are the conditions found in the outer core of earth?
The outer core is under great pressure and heat
What layer of earth has the greatest pressure?
The core because all its heat and pressure is in the misddle where everything started -Emily
Which layer inside the earth has the greatest amount of heat?
The Inner Core is the source of the internal heat of the Earth. This is composed of heat generated by gravitational pressure, and by the heat from nuclear disintegration of radioactive materials. This heat gradually spreads outwards.
Why is the inner core of the earth solid and the outer core molten?
It's actually due to the pressure inside of the earth. After acertainpoint ofpressurethe iron and nickel that makes up the inner core can no longer become liquid even though the heat produced is well above the melting point for iron.
How hot does the core of the earth get?
the earths core gets hot by all the heat on the surface and gose to the core of the earth.
What causes convection currents it the mantle?
Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
Where does the earth get heat and light?
Earth gets heat and light from the Sun. It's heat also comes from the Earth's 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.
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
What does the heat from the Earth's core do?
It attempts to reach the surface of the Earth.
Do diamonds come from the earth's inner core?
Diamonds form under great pressure and heat in the mantle. The mantle surrounds the core. Diamonds are found in intrusive lava, (underground deposits)
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
