The inner core of the Earth is made of solid nickel and iron, but mostly nickel. Wouldn't you think it was a liquid, or even a gas, because it's so extremely hot in the core? Actually, it's solid because there's so much pressure on it from the rest of the Earth and the atmosphere. Talk about having the "weight of the world on you". ;)

What is the liquid layer of the earths core called?
The liquid layer of the Earth's core is called the outer core.
Between earths lithosphere and its core is its?
After the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, then comes the lower mantle. After that is the outer core, and then is the inner core.
Earth's magnetic field results from the spinning of the?
The earths magnetic field results from deep in the earths core. Magnetic conduction from within the earths core is believed to be the cause of this.
What effects does p and s waves have on earths crust?
They show that the outer core of the Earth is liquid while the inner core is solid.
What is the purpose of the earths outer core?
There is no "purpose"; the density of the materials in the outer core are less pressured and spin slower than the inner core. NOTE: the inner core spins faster than the outer, creating Earth's magnetic field.

What is the state of matter of all the earths layers?
crust = solid mantle = solid soft enough to flow though outer core = liquid iron inner core = solid iron
In earths interior the outer core of iron and nickel is believed to be in a what?
In a liquid state.
Is earths core liquid or solid?
Both! The outer core is in a liquid state and the inner core is a solid. Both the inner and outer core are formed mainly of iron and nickel.
