How far below the earth's surface is the inner core?
The solid inner core extends from 3160 miles (5150 km) to 3977 miles (6400 km) below the surface.The center point of the Earth lies at an average depth of 3977 miles (6400 km) from the surface.
Is earths outer core liquid or solid?
So far as science can deduce, it must be a solid.
What would happen if you dig to the inner core?
If someone was to dig into the inner core, the planet would be hurdled towards the sun and doomed to destruction in less than 3 seconds.totally legit.You can't just dig to the inner core, since any hole that you dig would collapse long before it gets that far, however, I can imagine that with sufficient technological support, you could dig a hole and install a very durable and heat resistant pipe to keep the hole open. If you could get all the way to the inner core you would have access to a virtually unlimited source of valuable nickel and iron. It would be a fantastic mining opportunity.
Why is the inner core solid metal?
As far as we can tell, the inner core of our planet is made of a mixture of nickel and iron. The high temperature, under normal pressure, would melt nickel and iron, however, the core is under enormous pressure because of the weight of the mantle and crust, which are on top of it, and pressure tends to push substances in the direction of a more solid phase.

What elements make up the earths's inner core?
The inner core is predominately iron, with some nickel, and trace lighter elements, as far as we can deduce from current science.
The core is how far beneath Earth's surface?

Facts about the earths core?
The Inner core is the last layer in the earth surface and is what gives the earth its magnetic field. the outer core is liquid nickel and iron but the inner core is 80% solid iron and 20% solid nickel,gold,platinum, and uranium. the inner core is so far in the earth surface we can not reach it we can tell its there by seismic waves.
