Is the lower mantle solid or a liquid?
niether. The mesosphere is a layer of the atmosphere of earth, so it would be a gas. It is the coldest layer of the atmosphere reaching temperatures of -90 C. by mjjm23: No, it is a layer of the earth!! that is wrong, but i don't know the answer! THE ANSWER IS SOLID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE IN THAT AREA OF THE EARTH IN COMPARISON TO THE MATERIALS IN THE MESOSPHERE. THE MESOSPHERE IS SOLID. BUT YES THE MESOSPHERE IS ALSO THE NAME OF AN ATMOSPHERIC LAYER. BUT IN THE EARTH IT IS SOLID...
What is earth's inner core?
It is the innermost layer of the Earth. Also under the greatest pressure and the hottest. It is considered a solid and is composed primarily of iron. it is also the CENTER OF THE EARTH
Why the inner core a solid if it is the hottest layer?
It's because of the massive pressure in the inner core part.
What is the earth's solid layer?
Inner core
Why is iron core of the earth solid?
The iron core of the earth is solid because the immense pressure near the center of the earth, due to gravity, keeps the iron in a solid state, even though it is hot.
What is the Solid layer of earth that can flow because of great heat and pressure?
The mantle is the solid layer of earth that can flow because of great heat and pressure
How is it possible for the inner core to be solid if it is the hottest layer?
Because of the pressure of the earth compacts the inner core to a solid
Which layer of earth is solid due to tremendous pressure?
the innermost core
What is the earth's layer of solid rock that flows under pressure?
The solid layer of the earth that can still flow is called the asthenosphere. This layer is located in the mantle of the earth the layer below the upper crust and lithosphere, home of the tectonic plates.
What layer of Earth has a liquid and solid layer?
False. Earth's core has solid and liquid parts.
Why is the inner core solid if it is the hottest layer'?
because it has so much pressure on it
Why is the inner core the hottest layer if its solid?
because it has so much pressure on it
Why is the Earth's innermost layer a solid?
The immense pressure inside Earth keeps the inner core solid even though it is well above its normal melting temperature.
what layer of the earth is the thin solid outermost layer?
The thin, solid, outermost layer of the Earth is officially known as the crust.
How can a solid core exist within a hot liquid layer?
The higher the pressure, the more likely a liquid will turn into a solid. So, high pressure (like the Earth's core) can turn a core solid.
What is the earth's inner core?
a solid ball of iron
What is the solid out layer of the earth?
The thin solid outermost layer above the mantle is the Crust.GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
