Why is the inner core solid even though it's hotter than the outer core?

the inner core has to be really hot so when the hotness reaches the crust it feels normal because if the inner core was a normal temperature that when the hotness gets to the crust it would be freezing!

Is the outer core a liquid and the inner core a solid?
Yes, although the inner core is hotter than the outer core, there is more pressure. This pressure is enough to keep the inner core solid.
What is hotter inner mantle or outer mantle?
the earths core is the hottest part of the earth. the metals in the earths outer core is liquid because of the heat and the metals in the earths core is solid but still the earths core is the hottest
How is the inner core and outer core different from each other?
The outer core is liquid, the inner core is solid The outer core surrounds the inner core The outer core is iron-rich, the inner core is iron-rich and nickel-rich There is more pressure acting on the inner core The inner core is hotter
How can the inner core be hotter than the outer core but be in solid form while the outer core is in liquid form?
the outer core is not under enough pressure to be solid, but the inner core has so much weight being pressed against is from the mantle, crust, outer core, and gravity that it stays as solid nickel and can not move
What layer of Earth has a liquid and solid layer?
False. Earth's core has solid and liquid parts.
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.
What is the two difference between the inner core and the outer core of earth?
the two difference are that the inner core is solid and even though its very hot. the outer core are high temperatures
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.
How did the outer core become solid?
It isn't. The inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid.
Is the inner core or the outer core solid?
In inner core is solid while the outer core is liquid. This is because the inner core, being deeper, is under more pressure.
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
