What is the boundery of the inner core and the outercore?
The inner core is a solid mass consisting of an unknown metal probably iron and the outer core is a semi liquid mass. So basically, there might be no boundary.
What are the conditions in the inner core?
The inner core is very hot. It has been estimated to be around 5000-6000 degrees Celsius. However, the inner core is a solid mass due to the intense pressure exerted on it. This compacts the molecules of the inner core, which creates a solid. See the link below for more information on the Earth's core.
What percentage of the Earth's mass is represented by the inner core?
Less than 2%.
What percent of earths mass is the inner core?
30%
How much thicker is the outer core than the inner core?
The outer core is 2900-5100 km thickThe inner core is 5100-6738 km thick
What is the deepest layer of the earth?
Inner core
What is the size of the innercore?
The size of the earth's inner core is about 15 percent of the earth's mass.
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
Is earth core a solid or a liquid?
There are two parts to the earth's core. A liquid outer core and a solid inner core, both made of nickel-iron The reason that the inner core is solid is because the intense pressure from the entire mass of earth surrounding it compresses the liquid metal into a solid state.
How thick is the earth core?
1. Inner Core - A mass of iron with a temperature of about 7000 degrees F. Although such temperatures would normally melt iron, immense pressure on it keeps it in a solid form. The inner core is approximately 1,500 miles in diameter. 2. Outer Core - A mass of molten iron about 1,425 miles deep that surrounds the solid inner core. Electrical currents generated from this area produce the earth's magnetic field.
How much of earths mass made up by the core?
The core is 33% of the Earths mass
The most inner layer of earth?
The inner core.
