What is the only part of earths inner structure that is a liquid?
The inner and outer core are made mostly of molten rock and lead, as the very center is solid because of the constant force. The thick mantle is liquid towards the center and is primarily considered to be solid. The outer core is what I would say to be the "only" liquid layer in Earth's structure as the inner core has too much pressure and the mantle had too little heat.
What are two divisiosn of the earths core?
, a liquid outer core that is much less viscous than the mantle, and a solid inner core.
What keeps the inner core solid?
The solid nature of the inner core has to do with temperature and pressure. The inside of the earthâ??s core is much hotter than the liquid that is outside the core. Typically, solids tend to be much more dense than liquids because they are packed more tightly.
What are the layers of the earth about?
There is the Crust, Mantle, Outer core, and Inner core. There isn't really much to them. They are just the layers of the Earth
