What else can I help you with?
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 does rocks in earths mantle contain a higher percentage of what than rocks in earths crust?
iron and magnesium
How does the earths mantle differ from its crust?
Inner core: 2450 km thick Outer core: 2300 km thick Lower mantle: 2500 km thick Upper Mantle: 400 km thick continental crust: 30-70 km thick Oceanic Crust: 6 km thick
Why do seismic waves speed up beneath the surface of continents?
Because earths crust is denser than the mantle
Earth is mainly composed of what?
By mass, the Earth is composed of mostly iron (35 percent), oxygen (30 percent), silicon (15 percent), and magnesium (13 percent). It is made of distinct layers: a thin crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core, as well as transition zones. The crust is thinner under the oceans but thicker under the continents. While the inner core and crust are solid, the outer core and mantle layers are semi-fluid. Most of the mass of the Earth is in the mantle, which is mostly made of the minerals olivene and pyroxene (iron and magnesium silicates). The elements calcium and aluminum are abundant in the upper mantle and while silicon, magnesium, and oxygen are major components of the lower mantle. The core is probably composed mostly of iron (perhaps with some nickel), where the temperature may be as high as 7227 °C (13,040 °F) at the center -- which is hotter than the surface of the Sun
Is the earths core cooler than the crust and mantle?
No, the core is hotter.
Is the earths core hotter than both the crust and the mantle?
Yes it is
What is hotter inner mantle or outer mantle?
Oh, dude, the inner mantle is definitely hotter than the outer mantle. Like, we're talking about temperatures reaching up to 4000°C in the inner mantle compared to a measly 500-900°C in the outer mantle. So, if you're looking for a hot spot, the inner mantle is where it's at.
Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
What is the temerature of the inner core?
hotter than the mantle.
Is the earth core hotter than both the crust and the mantle?
Yes it is
Is the earth's core hotter than both the crust and the mantle.?
Yes
Is the Earths core hotter than the suns OUTER EDGE?
ES
Would you expect the mantle to be hotter or cooler than the inner and outer cores?
The mantle is expected to be cooler than the inner core but hotter than the outer core. The inner core is the hottest layer of the Earth, while the outer core is composed of molten iron and nickel. The mantle, located between the crust and core, experiences convection currents due to heat from the core, making it warmer than the outer core but cooler than the inner core.
What is differences the mantle and core?
The core is the middle and the mantle is the 3rd layer
Which is hotter the sun or the Earth's core?
The sun is millions of degrees hotter than the earths core! (:
Is the sun hotter than the mantle?
no because the mantle is the hottest thing ever
