The Core Mantle boundary - also known as the Guttenberg discontinuity separates the earth's mantle from its core. It is divided into two layers, the inner core and the outer core. The inner core, the center of earth, is solid and about 780 miles (1,250 km) thick. The outer core is so hot that the metal is always molten, but the inner core pressures are so great that it cannot melt, even though temperatures there reach 6700ºF (3700ºC). The outer core is about 1370 miles (2,200 km) thick. Because the earth rotates, the outer core spins around the inner core and that causes the earth's magnetism.
No. The inner and outer core are both composed primarily of iron and nickel, but the outer core is liquid and surrounds the inner core. The inner core is the innermost layer of Earth and is kept solid by the enormous pressure.
Earth's inner core is Earth's innermost part and is a primarily solid ball with a radius of ... The fact that precious metals and other heavy elements are so much more ... that the solid inner core itself is composed of layers, separated by a transition.
well i hate this web site because it dosent answer my questions right and it makes me mad so i ant gonna answer it
The earth's core isn't entirely solid. In fact the earth's core is slit into two main sections. The inner core (which is solid) and the outer core which is liquid. This is because the melting point of materials varies depending on the applied pressure. As pressure increases so to does the melting temperature. This relationship is normally shown in a phase diagram. The main constituent of the inner core is iron and the inner core pressure is approximately 330-360 GPa while the temperature varies from approximately 5000 to 7000 K. The extremely high pressures in the Earth's inner core therefore drive the melting point of the iron up beyond the temperature that occurs and the metals of the inner core cannot melt.
The inner core - the centre of earth - is solid and about 780 miles (1,250 km) thick. The inner core may have a temperature up to about 13,000°F (7,200°C = 7,500 K), which is hotter than the surface of the Sun. The inner core (which has a radius of about 750 miles (1,228 km) is solid. The outer core is so hot that the metal is always molten. The outer core is about 1370 miles (2,200 km) thick. Because the earth rotates, the outer core spins around the inner core and that causes the earth's magnetism. The outer core is in a liquid state and is about 1,400 miles (2,260 km) thick.
yes because the inner core is INSIDE the earth so yes

the inner core is solid , the outer core has less pressure, so it is liquid
There are five basic layers of the Earth, being the crust, upper mantle, inner mantle, outer core, and inner core. Of these, the lithosphere is composed of the crust and upper mantle, and the asthenosphere is part of the mantle, below the lithosphere.
No. The inner and outer core are both composed primarily of iron and nickel, but the outer core is liquid and surrounds the inner core. The inner core is the innermost layer of Earth and is kept solid by the enormous pressure.
The thickness of the inner core is 1,200 km. 1,200 km being the radius of the sphere known as the inner core.
well yes because the inner core is REALLY hot so prob yes
False. Earth's core has solid and liquid parts.

These are the crust, mantle, and core. However, there is a distinct inner and outer core and a less distinct inner and outer mantle. There is also different types of crust so there are as many as 7 or 8 layers in the Earth's crust.
