The central part of Earth's sphere is known as the 'Inner Core' and is believed to be made of iron and nickel, with of course a smattering of other heavy elements such as some radioactive ones.

It is believed have a temperature of around 6 000oC, and is solid because of the intense pressure. The temperature is due to gravitational pressure, and of heat incidental to radioactive decay.
