Earths outer core?
The Earth's outer core is a liquid layer composed mainly of iron and nickel. It lies beneath the mantle and surrounds the solid inner core. The outer core is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field through convection currents.
How thick is the inner core of the earth?
The inner core of the Earth is approximately 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) thick. It is a solid metal sphere primarily composed of iron and nickel at extreme temperatures and pressures. The inner core is surrounded by the liquid outer core.
How thick is the inner mantle?
the inner mantle of the earth is aproximatly 2850km thick.
What is the term that describes water-soaked soil when it turns into thick soupy liquid during an earthquake?
That term is liquefaction. It occurs when saturated soil loses its strength due to shaking during an earthquake, causing it to behave like a liquid.
How deep is the border between the outer and inner cores is it from the earth's crust?
the core is 3470km thick (the inner is 1270km and the outer is 930km thick) from the top of the outer layer of the core to the crust is 2850km (called the mantle) , and the crust itself is 25 miles beneath continents and 6.5 miles thick beneath oceans..
Does earth's inner core behave like a thick liquid?
No. It behaves as a solid.
What is the earths outer core?
The outer core is a liquid that is in between the inner core and mantle. It is 2,000km thick.
Is the earths outer core a hot liquid?
yes it is The outer core of the Earth is a liquid layer about 2,266 km (1,408 mi) thick composed of iron and nickel which lies above the Earth's solid inner core and below its mantle
How thick is earths inner core?
The inner core is 1216 km and made of solid iron. It is approx 5000 degrees C and it doesnt melt because of everything else pushing down on it.
What is the thickness of earth's layers?
the crust is the thickness of earths layers
How thick are the earths layers in km?
crust: average of 32 km thick mantle: 2900 km thick outer core: 2200 km thick inner core 1250 km thick
What is the only part of earths inner structure that is a liquid?
The inner and outer core are made mostly of molten rock and lead, as the very center is solid because of the constant force. The thick mantle is liquid towards the center and is primarily considered to be solid. The outer core is what I would say to be the "only" liquid layer in Earth's structure as the inner core has too much pressure and the mantle had too little heat.
What is the thick rocky layer around earths core?
The core of the earth is surrounded by the mantle.The earth's core is called the inner core. Just outside that is the outer core, and it is liquid. Outside the liquid outer core is the mantle.
What are the characteristics of the earths outer core?
The Outer Core is made up of a liquid iron and nickel alloy. This creates the earth's magnetic field. It is in a liquid form due to the intense heat given off by the inner core (which is 5500C due to the decay of radioactive elements such as uranium inside) It is roughly 2300 metres thick.
Earths outer core?
The Earth's outer core is a liquid layer composed mainly of iron and nickel. It lies beneath the mantle and surrounds the solid inner core. The outer core is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field through convection currents.
How many miles thick is the earths inner core?
The core of the Earth, about 4,216 kilometers across and 2635 miles, is thought to be divided into an outer core of liquid iron and a nearly solid iron inner core about 1,500 miles in diameter.
What are some physical characteristics of the earths outer core?
The Outer Core is made up of a liquid iron and nickel alloy. This creates the earth's magnetic field. It is in a liquid form due to the intense heat given off by the inner core (which is 5500C due to the decay of radioactive elements such as uranium inside) It is roughly 2300 metres thick.
