As we go inside the Earth, the temperature increases, but so does the confining pressure. As the pressure increases, the melting point of the materials increases as they become harder and denser. The outer core is liquid due to the fact the melting point hasnt increased above its temperature. At the boundary of outer and inner core, the pressure becomes high enough to raise the melting point of the materials above their temperature. So it is solid
The inner core is solid because the main constituent of inner core is iron. In the inner core the pressure is nearly 330-360 giga pascal and temperature is nearly 5900K. at these pressure the melting point of iron increases upto an extent that it can be in solid state even at that high temperatures. Hence, the inner core of earth is in solid state.
What else can I help you with?
Is the core of the Earth solid?
Yes, the core of the Earth is mostly solid, with a solid inner core and a liquid outer core.
Which core of earth is solid?
The inner core is solid.
Is the core liquid or solid?
There are two parts of the core: Inner and Outer. The outer core is liquid, the inner solid. The inner core is solid due to the pressure exerted on it, despite the excessively high temperature.
Is the core of the Earth solid?
The Earth's inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid.
What is part of the core made up of solid?
The inner core is the solid part of the core
What part of the core is made up of solid metal?
The inner core is the solid part of the core
How did the outer core become solid?
It isn't. The inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid.
Why is the outer core solid?
The outer core is not a solid but is in fact a liquid.
Is the inner core solid?
Yes, the inner core of the Earth is solid.
Is the inner core a liquid a solid or a gas?
the inner core is mainly made as a solid. its like the rest besides outer core.
Inner core state of matter?
The inner core of Earth is believed to be in a solid state, primarily composed of iron and nickel. This solid inner core is surrounded by a liquid outer core, which is responsible for generating the planet's magnetic field through convection currents and the movement of molten metal. The extreme pressure at the center of the Earth keeps the inner core solid despite the high temperatures.
Is the core of earth a solid?
the inner core yes, because it is so compressed that it becomes a solid. The outer core is somewhat a solid and a liquid.
