It is widely scientifically believed that the inner core (deepest part of Earth) is made of solid iron. However the inner core is surrounded by an outer core of iron and nickel that is believed to be molten material.

Convection in the What creates earths magnetic filed?
Earth's molten outer core rotates. That outer core is made up mostly of molten iron. The movement of the molten iron produces the magnetic field.When currents in the outer core force the solid inner core to spin at a slightly faster rate than the rest of the planet causes the Earth to have a magnetic field.
What do scientist believe causes earths magnetic field?
The center core of the earth is solid iron surrounded by molten iron. The center is solid due to the great pressure and the spinning mass of molten iron around the solid iron core creates the electrodynamic effect that causes Earths magnetism. Our moon has little or no magnetic field because its core has long since cooled.
What is earths core mostly made out of?
The Inner (solid) and Outter (liquid) Core are made up of Nickel and Iron.
What layer of earth is made up of hot molten rocks?
The outer core is the only molten layer of the Earth. == ==
How would you describe the earth's core?
The Earths Core can be broken into two pieces the inner core and the outer core. The Inner Coreis made of SolidIron. The Outer Core is made of Liquid Iron.
Is the inner core made of molten metal?
No. The inner core is composed of solid metal, mostly an iron-nickel alloy.
Is the earths core made of liquid iron?
The outer portion of the core is mostly molten iron. The inner core is solid metal.
What is made of solid and melted rock?
the outer core. the last answer was the inner core.. but im sorry to tell them that im doing this section in school currently and the OUTER core is made of molten metal. the inner is solid metal.
The core is made up of what molten metal?
It is thought to be mostly iron.
What is inner core and outter core?
a inner core is a dense ball of solid metal a outer core is a layer of molten metal surrounding the inner core
What are the 2 different layers of the core?
The inner core and the outer core. The outer core is made of molten metal and the inner core is made of solid metal.
Does the earth's inner core consist of molten metal?
No. It is a solid metallic alloy.
The center part of earth is made up of two parts the molten outer core and the what?
solid metal inner core
Earth's solid inner layer is surrounded by the hot molten metal of which layer?
outer core
What layer of the earth is mostly solid metal?
The inner core.
How is the outer core different from the inner core?
The inner core is a dense ball of solid metal the outer core is a layer of molten matel that surronds the inner core.
Is the core of the earth molten?
Part of it is. The outer core is molten while the inner core is solid.
