Which layer of earth is made up of liquid metal?
the outer core
Is the outer core solid?
the outer core is considered a liquid
What is directly above the outer core?
Directly above the outer core is the mantle.
What is the liquid layer of the earths core called?
The liquid layer of the Earth's core is called the outer core.
What layer of the earth is solid the inner or outer core?
Th einner core is solid the outer core is liquid.
What does the outer core create as the earth spins on its axis?
The flow of the liquid iron in Earth's outer core is thought to be responsible for creating the Earth's magnetic field.
What is the effect of the movement in the outer core on the earth?
Currents in the outer core are thought to be responsible for the Earth's magnetic field, which prevents the atmosphere from being stripped away by solar particles.
What is the outer core description?
of a planet; it has three layers, the crust,( the top) the mantle (the thickest part) and the core (the center) the outer core is just the outermost parts of the core, as opposed to the inner core
What force is responsible for the movement of plates at divergent boundaries?
It is the convection on the liquid outer core/ and semi fluid mantle that is responsible for the movement of plates.
Examples of the outer core?
The outer core is hotter then the inner core
Earth's magnetic field is a result of movement within which layer?
Outer core. The inner core, and the crust, are both solid and, therefore, will have no movement, eliminating them right away. Parts of the mantle, are fluid in nature, but it is not made of the iron needed to influence or create a magnetic field. The asthenosphere, is the mushy layer within the mantle where convection occurs.
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
Where the outer core is locate?
the outer core is located next to the innner core
Is the inner core outer core mantle or crust have liquid?
outer 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.
