What is the different between inner and outer strength?
the difference of an inner and outer strength of a person is like for example inner: patients determine outer: muscles
What earth layer are s waves not transmitted?
S waves can not travel through liquids, the outer core is a liquid, so the S waves can not travel through the outer core. You can also determine that since the outer core is all around the inner core, that the S waves can no travel through the inner core as well.
What reduces the friction between the lungs and the walls of the thorax?
The pleurae, which are membranes with a thin layer of liquid between. The inner pleura covers the lungs and the outer pleura is attached to the chest wall itself.
How much heat transfer takes place between outer and inner surface of silencer?
the same amount of heat takes place in the inner and outer of a silencer because the silencer is a metal
Is there such thing as metal that does not get hot?
sorta cause in the earth's interior there is a metal forgot what it's called but is not completly melted instead it is compacted in earth inner core and the outer core is liquid metal so not really
Are the inner and outer core of earth the same?
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.
Why are iron and nickel liquid state in outer core?
They are in this state due to the high temperatures (they have melted). Also note that they are not liquid in the inner core even at the even higher temperatures because of the intense pressure also acting.
What do the word inner core mean in science?
The core of the Earth is composed of two layers: the inner core and the outer core. Both are composed mostly of iron and nickel, but the outer core is liquid due to temperatures and the inner core is solid due to additional pressure.
Liquid in the inner or outer core flows in currents?
Outer :)
What is the differences between the inner core and the outer core?
The inner core is a solid, and the outer core is a liquid.
How does outer core different from inner core?
outer core is liquid whereas the inner core is solid
What is the difference between the inner cores and outer cores?
The inner core is a solid, and the outer core is a liquid.
How does the outer core differ from inner core?
outer core is liquid whereas the inner core is solid
Why is the inner the outer core liquid?
the inner core is solid because of tremendous pressure the outer core is liquid due to less pressure and heat
Is the inner and outer core together solid and liquid?
Well, the outer core is made of liquid and the inner core is solid so i guess in a way it kind of is solid and liquid.
Is the solid outer core more dense than the liquid inner core?
This question is based on a false assumption that the outer core is solid and the inner core is liquid. This is incorrect. It is in fact the inner core that is solid (and so is the most dense) and the outer core which is liquid.
What difference between inner core and outer core of earth?
The inner core Is solid and the outer core in liquid
