How do scientistS know that the earth's inner core is made of dense iron and it's outer core is liquid?
When eartquakes erupt only certaing wavelengths can travel through both liquids and solids, so when the scientists measure to see at what point in the earth the waves refract they can then tell what parts are solid and what parts are liquid
How do scientists know that the Earth's core is made of a different material?
Scientists know the Earth's core is made of a different material because earthquake waves pass through liquids, like the Earth's outer core, differently than they pass through solids.
How do scientists know that the inner core is solid?
Seismic waves traveling through the inner core go faster than those through the outer core.
What is the psi of the outer core?
The psi of the outer core is the rounding core actullay know as inside.
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 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.
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.

How do we know the outer core is liquid?
seismic waves travel slowly trough

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
