1.The Earth's core is composed of heavy elements, such as iron, nickel, and the other heavy elements.

2. Due to gravitational compression, and the presence of radioactivity, the core is very hot (perhaps 6 000oC) and very dense.

The inner core is solid due to gravitational pressure. The outer core is liquid or at least plastic.
