The inner core - the centre of earth - is solid and about 780 miles (1,250 km) thick. The inner core may have a temperature up to about 13,000°F (7,200°C = 7,500 K), which is hotter than the surface of the Sun. The inner core (which has a radius of about 750 miles (1,228 km) is solid. The core is a dense ball of the elements iron and nickel.

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.
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)
What is a facts about the inner core?
the inner core is NOT made from rock.?!
Inner core state of matter?
the inner core is a solid
What are the two parts of the inner core?
the solid inner core and the liquid outer core
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.
What is the deepest layer of the earth?
Inner core
What happens to the energy from the suns rise that reach earth?
it goes into the inner 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

What dense center of earth is made of solid iron and nickel?
There are two parts to core at the center of the Earth.the outer core is made of liquid iron and nickel and the inner core is made of solid iron and nickel.The inner core is solid from all off the pressure pushing down on it.
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)
What is the inner most layer of the Earth?
Inner layer? Like the most middle? I think the inner core.
