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.
Why is the inner corre solid the outer core liquid?
The inner core is solid due to the high pressure. Even at such a temperature, the pressure is so great that the material can only exist as a solid. The outer core is liquid as it is at a huge temperature, yet does not have the pressure to force it into solid form.
Is the temperature of the outer core higher OR lower than its melting point?
The outer core is liquid. Its pressure is low enough and its temperature high enough for it to melt. The inner core is solid. Both its pressure and temperature are higher than the outer core, but the increased pressure overwhelms the increased temperature, keeping the inner core from melting.
What causes the inner core to be solid when the outer core is liquid?
The extremely high pressure at the inner core drives the melting point of the iron and other materials up beyond the temperature of the inner core. Therefore they remain solid. The pressure in the outer core is lower sop the melting point is below the temperature in this region and so it is a liquid.
Because of intense pressure the inner core of Earth is?
Solid due to the extremely high pressure caused by the overlying layers of liquid outer core and solid mantle. This pressure prevents the inner core from melting despite its high temperature.
How are inner core and outer core different?
The inner core is solid due to high pressure and temperature, while the outer core is liquid. The inner core is composed mainly of solid iron and nickel, while the outer core is also made of iron and nickel but in a liquid state.
Which part of the core is probably solidified?
The inner core of the Earth is believed to be solid due to high pressure and temperature conditions. It is composed mainly of solid iron and nickel, while the outer core is in a liquid state.
What materials are in the core?
The Earth's core is primarily composed of iron and nickel. The outer core is in a liquid state due to the high temperatures and pressures, while the inner core is solid due to the extreme pressure despite the high temperature.
What is the most dense region of the earth called?
The Inner Core is the most dense part of the Earth. It is a solid core of iron and nickel.
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.
Explain the difference between inner core and outer core?
Both the inner and outer core are made mostly of iron and nickel. The outer core is liquid while the inner core is solid.
What is the state of the inner and outer core and why is it this state?
The inner core is solid due to high pressure preventing the temperature from melting the iron-nickel alloy. The outer core is liquid because the lower pressure allows for the metal to remain in a molten state.
