After the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, then comes the lower mantle. After that is the outer core, and then is the inner core.
It is a solid because it is under so much pressure, being the center of the earth. All the pressures of earth are squeezed into the inner core. It is a proven fact that if a human was in the center of the earth, they would be squeezed into a ball the size of a marble because of the pressure.
The Inner (solid) and Outter (liquid) Core are made up of Nickel and Iron.
The solid state of of the inner core is due to pressure caused by the weight of everything above it.
-the inner core of the earth has temperatures and pressures so great, that metals are squeezed together and not able to move. -the inner core is a solid because of the high pressure -the core is 800 miles or 2000 km in diameter. -The temperature of the core is more than 4,400 degrees c. or 9032-10832 degrees F It is a solid because of all the pressure it gets or has. -It is the final layer of the earth. -It is mostly made up of iron and a little amount of nickel. -it generates a magnetic field -its density is about 15g/cm3
The immense pressure from the layers outside of the inner core.
it remains solid because of all the pressure. Also, it is solid because it is the inner core
The inner core Is solid and the outer core in liquid
The amount of pressure overcomes the material's disposition to melting at high temperature. It solidifies.
between 12.6 and 13 g/cm3
Venus and Mars. The difference is that Venus atmospheric pressure is around 93 times that of Earths, while Mars' atmospheric pressure is only 0.7% of Earths.
Earth's inner core is solid due to the exceptionally high pressure (approximately 330 to 360 GPa) which drives up the melting point of iron beyond the temperatures found within the inner core.
the earths core is the hottest part of the earth. the metals in the earths outer core is liquid because of the heat and the metals in the earths core is solid but still the earths core is the hottest
Yes
The Earth's rotation on its axis
The melting temperature would drop. If it dropped to a point below the in-situ temperature, melting of the inner core would occur.
