What is a layer of molten iron and nickel that surrounds the inner core of earth called?

The layer of molten iron and nickel that surrounds the inner core of the Earth is called the outer core. This layer is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field through the movement of molten metals.


What is a layer of molten iron and nickel that surrounds the inner core of earth?

The layer you are referring to is the outer core. It is a liquid layer made up of molten iron and nickel that surrounds the solid inner core of the Earth. The movement of this molten outer core is believed to generate Earth's magnetic field.


What layer of the earth- that is rigid but molten?

The layer of the Earth that is rigid but molten is the asthenosphere. Located beneath the lithosphere, it is part of the upper mantle and is composed of partially molten rock that can flow slowly over time. This layer plays a crucial role in tectonic plate movement, allowing the more rigid lithosphere above it to move and shift.
