Examples of the outer core?
The outer core is hotter then the inner core
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.
What is thicker inner or outer core?
the outer core
What is the color the outer core?
the outer core is yellow
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.
How can some places in the outer core be hotter than the inner core?
Concentrations of radioactive elements generate excess heat. A lot of the heat in the Earth's interior is related to radioactive isotopes of aluminum, and aluminum is less dense than the inner core, which is iron and nickel.
Why are iron and nickel in the liquid state in the outer core?
The molten condition may be due to the heat produced by radioactive elements
Why is it hot when we go deeper to the earth?
Because the center of the Earth (which is solid) is surrounded by a molten outer core of nickel/iron at a temperature of 6,000C, (as hot as the surface of the Sun). This heat is caused by the radioactive decay of heavy radioactive elements that sank to the core with the iron cascade.

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.
What is thicker inner or outer core?
the outer core
What is the color the outer core?
the outer core is yellow
Is the inner core outer core mantle or crust have liquid?
outer core
Where the outer core is locate?
the outer core is located next to the innner 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.

Which layer of earth is made up of liquid metal?
the outer core
