What is the layer that contains liquid rock?
the layer in the earths suface that contains liquid rock is called: the inner core (mainly)\ outer core (some) and (parts) of the mantle.
Why do you think the iron at the earths core is partly liquid?
Heat and pressure.
What do geologists think earth's core contains mostly iron?
They believe that Earth was once all molten when it was first forming. Since iron is one of the heavier elements, it would have sank to the inside of the earth due to gravity.
What is the rock that is liquid?
the layer in the earths suface that contains liquid rock is called: the inner core (mainly)\ outer core (some) and (parts) of the mantle.
WHY IS THAT THE EARTHS INTERIOR IS BELIEVED TO HAVE HIGH TEMPERATURES?
The interior core contains many nuclear properties which gives of huge amounts of heat which then heats the core.
What do geologists think creates earths magnetic field?
Electric currents in Earth's molten outer core.
Which scientists study earthquakes and the earths core?
Seismologists are based on the study of earthquakes while Geologists study the earths core and quakes.
What element makes up of the earths core?
scientists think that the earths core is made up of mostly iron, and contains smaller amounts of copper nickel.
Why do scientist think earths core contains iron?
other orbiting bodies contain more iron than earths crust does
What element makes up most of the earths core?
scientists think that the earths core is made up of mostly iron, and contains smaller amounts of copper nickel.
Why do scientists think the earths core contains iron?
Iron is magnetic which forms the Earth's magnetic field.
What is the most significant discovery that geologists established throughout their study of plate tectonics?
the earths crust,mantle,inner core,and outer core.
Are geologists able to drill to the center of earth?
No they arent able to because earths inner core is to hot for them to drill!
Why do scientists think that the earths core contains iron?
They think that because the iron in the core has sort of a magnetic force to it. It helps to rotate the earth and is a very vital part to this earth's survival. If there was no core, there is no us.
What do geologist look at for proof earths core contains mostly iron?
Comits
How geologists know that earths core is made up of two parts?
Seismology - echo patterns of sound waves traveling through the earth.
Where in the interior of earth do geologists believe that the earths magnetism is influenced?
Convection of liquid metals in the outer core creates the Earth's magnetic field.
