It is molten iron, and you think that it can and does move. Current understanding suggests, though, that it is under such extreme pressure that it maintains a kind of solid form even though it is hot enough to be liquid.

What is the deepest layer of the earth?
Inner core
How does the mantle get energy to move in convection currents?
Its becomes the inner core and drifts
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
What 3 things increase when you move from the crust to the inner core?
temp pressure fluidity
What dense center of earth is made of solid iron and nickel?
There are two parts to core at the center of the Earth.the outer core is made of liquid iron and nickel and the inner core is made of solid iron and nickel.The inner core is solid from all off the pressure pushing down on it.
Does the inner core move like liquid?
No it is believed that the inner core is solid and it does not.
What do convections do in the inner core and outer core?
They move the hot and colder parts around.
Why the inner core doesn't move like liquid?
Its too dense.
How does density temperature and pressure change as you move on the lithosphere to the inner core?
It gets hotter and more pressure is released because the inner core is a solid layer .

The most inner layer of earth?
The inner core.
What is the inner-most part of the earth?
The inner 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 dense center of earth is made of solid iron and nickel?
There are two parts to core at the center of the Earth.the outer core is made of liquid iron and nickel and the inner core is made of solid iron and nickel.The inner core is solid from all off the pressure pushing down on it.
