What is inner made up of?
if you are talking about the earth here is the answer. The earth is made up of many parts. The outside is called the crust the crust is the thinest part of the earth. The crust is made up of the continental crust and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust is 3.0 grams/cm squared dense. The continental crust is 2.7 grams/cm squared dense. Other parts of the earths interior are the asthensophere "plastic mantle", stiffer mantle, outer core, and the inner core. We know that the outer core is liquid because a waves do not travel through it, and a waves only don't travel through liquid. These are the components that make up the earths interior.
