What are two facts about earths inner core?
It is a solid because it is under so much pressure, being the center of the earth. All the pressures of earth are squeezed into the inner core. It is a proven fact that if a human was in the center of the earth, they would be squeezed into a ball the size of a marble because of the pressure.
