The outer core is approximately 2,260 km thick extending from 5150 km below Earth's surface to 2890 km (the core mantle boundary or Gutenberg discontinuity) The outer core has a volume of 1.6760x1011 km3.

∙ 13y agoThe Earth's core has a radius of approximately 3470 kmA with a total volume of 1.7502x1011 km3
This is separated into the inner and outer core with dimensions as follows:
The inner core has a radius of 1220 kmA extending from the centre of the Earth approximately 6370 km below Earth's surface to 5150 km below the surface (the change from inner to outer core is marked by a density change known as the Lehmann discontinuity). The inner core has a total volume of 7.4207x109 km3.
The outer core is approximately 2260 km thick extending from 5150 km below Earth's surface to 2890 km (the core mantle boundary or Gutenberg discontinuity) The outer core has a volume of 1.6760x1011 km3.

Is the inner core outer core mantle or crust have liquid?
outer core
What type of rock is found in the outer core?
There is no rock in the outer core. The outer core is liquid iron-nickel.
What is the third layer of the earth?
the outer core the outer core
Pressure of outer core?
The pressure of the outer core is 681g.
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
How long would it take to travel through the outer core?
It would be necessary to know at what speed you intend to travel through the outer core.
How long is the outer core of the earth?
It is 2,266 km thick :)
Examples of the outer core?
The outer core is hotter then the inner core
What is thicker inner or outer core?
the outer core
What is the color the outer core?
the outer core is yellow
Does the inter core have more pressure then the outer core?
Yes, Inter core has more pressure than outer core and that's why outer core is solid, because there is not enough pressure in outer core.
Where the outer core is locate?
the outer core is located next to the innner core
Is the inner core outer core mantle or crust have liquid?
outer core
What type of rock is found in the outer core?
There is no rock in the outer core. The outer core is liquid iron-nickel.
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.
Which layer of earth is made up of liquid metal?
the outer core
Is the outer core solid or liquid?
the outer core is liquid
