in different parts of Earth's interrior, there are solid and liquid layers. Why is this? scientists believe that as you travel further through Earth's core, the temperature increases as well as pressure. The mantle, the closest layer to the crust, is solid due to its temperature. However, the outer core is made up of liquid because of its temperature as well, but the inner core isn't. It may be the hottest part of Earth, but it's under so much pressure that it remains a solid state.
What else can I help you with?
What is the liquid layer of the earths core called?
The liquid layer of the Earth's core is called the outer core.
Earth's magnetic field results from the spinning of the?
The earths magnetic field results from deep in the earths core. Magnetic conduction from within the earths core is believed to be the cause of this.
What creates the Earths magnetic field?
Scientists believe that it is the movements in the liquid outer core that create the magnetic field. Earth's magnetic field affects the whole planet.
What effects does p and s waves have on earths crust?
They show that the outer core of the Earth is liquid while the inner core is solid.
Do scientists think that movements in the liquid inner core create earths magnetic field?
The Earth's magnetic field is the result of electric currents in the liquid metal outer core.The outer core of the Earth is over 2,000 km thick. It sits above the solid inner core and is composed of highly conducting liquid iron and nickel. Above the outer core is the Earth's mantle.The geodynamo is the mechanism thought to be responsible for the electric current in the core and the generation of the Earth's magnetic field through the convection of conducting fluids in the Earth's core. Other planets with a molten metal core can also have a magnetic field.See related links.
