Are there magnets in a compass?
Yes. The magnets help the pointer point to your direction because of the magnetic eaths inner core
Why is the inner core solid but the outer core liquid if both regions have very high temperatures?
The pressure is higher in the inner core.
What does the inner core have?
inner core of earth? it contains melted rocks, metals and minerals since the core has nearly the surface temperature of sun
In which layers is the temperature the highest?
the inner core
What is counter rotate?
it is anti clock wise direction..
How can you rotate Widdy Dart Board inner cicle?
You can't rotate only the inner circle. You can rotate the entire Widdy Board by grabbing it on both sides and moving it in the direction you want to rotate it.
What happens to p-waves when they strike the inner core.?
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.
What happens to p-waves when they strike the inner core?
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.
Why do the planets roate?
They rotate do to the gravitational pull of the sun... The rotate themselves due to their inner core rotating which is also caused by gravity
What cause the earth magnetism?
The inner core and outer core of the planet are composed primarily of iron and nickel. The outer core is liquid and the inner core is solid. It is thought that the convective motion of the liquid outer core is responsible for generating the main field. Recent studies indicate that the inner core of the Earth may rotate a bit faster than the outer core and it is possible that this rotation may be associated with field reversals.
What is the deepest layer of the earth?
Inner core
What happens to seismic waves when they pass through the solid inner core?
Seismic waves than changes direction and speed because of the matter it's passing through and the moving from different matter's (Inner core-Outer core)
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
The most inner layer of earth?
The inner core.
What is the inner-most part of the earth?
The inner core
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 did scientists come up with the idea that the outer core is made up of liquid while the inner core is solid?
This idea was derived from the behavior of seismic waves as they travel through the Earth. Their direction and speed from their point of origin indicate a molten outer core and a solid inner core.
