Earth's Inner Core is Solid
Yes, because it is in the center of the Earth.
The inner core is very hot. It has been estimated to be around 5000-6000 degrees Celsius. However, the inner core is a solid mass due to the intense pressure exerted on it. This compacts the molecules of the inner core, which creates a solid. See the link below for more information on the Earth's core.
it changes as you go deeper because the more you go down the pressure is harder because of all of the rocks and the temperature change because of the mantle, inner core, and the outer core but mostly out of the inner core.
It's not. Many people thought that the Earth's inner core was liquid because of the intense heat that is generated by the remains of the Earth's creation and the radiation emitted from radioactive decay. Of course, now we think, due to the behavior of seismic waves and a number of other evidences, that the Earth's inner core is solid due to the intense pressure that exists.
The inner core of the Earth, which is composed of metal rather than rock, does remains solid because it is under immense pressure.
Inner part of planet contains molten magma or core. Its hot due to intense pressure.
Yes, because it is in the center of the Earth.
There are two parts to the earth's core. A liquid outer core and a solid inner core, both made of nickel-iron The reason that the inner core is solid is because the intense pressure from the entire mass of earth surrounding it compresses the liquid metal into a solid state.
Because of the pressure of the earth compacts the inner core to a solid
The Earth's rotation on its axis
The inner core is solid, even though it has a high temperature, because of the high pressure in the center of Earth.
The pressures from surrounding material is so intense that despite the high temperatures, the metals of the inner core cannot melt.
That's all because of pressure. The higher pressure, the higher the temperature should be to melt something. And the deeper you are in the earth, the higher the pressure becomes.
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.
The inner core is very hot. It has been estimated to be around 5000-6000 degrees Celsius. However, the inner core is a solid mass due to the intense pressure exerted on it. This compacts the molecules of the inner core, which creates a solid. See the link below for more information on the Earth's core.
It's actually due to the pressure inside of the earth. After acertainpoint ofpressurethe iron and nickel that makes up the inner core can no longer become liquid even though the heat produced is well above the melting point for iron.
The inner core has the most or highest amount of density (iron/nickel).
