How do we know the outer core is liquid?
seismic waves travel slowly trough
What is one way the scientists know the outer core is liquid?
some kinds of seismic waves cannot travel through liquids, such as the outer core.
How do you know the earth has a liquid outer core?
Scientists have inferred the presence of a liquid outer core through various indirect measurements and observations. One main line of evidence comes from studying the behavior of seismic waves during earthquakes, which indicates that the outer core is liquid. Additionally, the Earth's magnetic field suggests the presence of a rotating liquid metal outer core.
Does the liquid in the inner core or outer core flow in currents?
The inner core is solid, but the mantle is the only layer of Earth that flows in currents. These currents are caused by convection. If you don't know what convection is then you might as well look it up because I don't have a good definition.
What does it feel like to go through the outer core?
the outer core is above earths solid inner core and below its mantle this is the outer part but not the crust and it would feel pretty warm to go through this area. ok well i hope this helped this is all i know.!:)
How do you know earths outer core is liquid?
Volcanoes allow the molten lava from the outer core to pass through weak spots in the mantle.

What is the psi of the outer core?
The psi of the outer core is the rounding core actullay know as inside.
Why are seismologist important?
They are important because they study p-waves and s-waves which now we know that the Outer Core is liquid
How do you know how big the inner core outer core and mantle are?
I came to know that how big inner core and outer core and mantle are by reading the books and by searching on wikipedia.
What is the outer core made of liquid or solid?
Melted iron and nickel alloy. It is too hot near the centre, so it is liquid. But if you want to know if the inner core is solid or liquid, then it is solid, because there is too much pressure from the rest of the Earth
What layer of earth creates earth magnetic field?
The Earth's magnetic field is the result of electric currents in the liquid metal outer core.The outer core of the Earth is over 2,000 km thick. It sits above the solid inner core and is composed of highly conducting liquid iron and nickel. Above the outer core is the Earth's mantle.The geodynamo is the mechanism thought to be responsible for the electric current in the core and the generation of the Earth's magnetic field through the convection of conducting fluids in the Earth's core. Other planets with a molten metal core can also have a magnetic field.See related links.
What is hotter inner mantle or outer mantle?
the earths core is the hottest part of the earth. the metals in the earths outer core is liquid because of the heat and the metals in the earths core is solid but still the earths core is the hottest
Why can't s waves pass trough the earth's core while p waves can?
This is because the Outer Core is liquid, and we know from experiments that S-waves cannot travel through liquids. If they could pass through the outer core, they could pass through the Inner, but they are absorbed by the first barrier, at the Gutenberg Discontinuity.
