What is earths internal composition?
nope i dont know really
Inner core thickness?
The inner core of the Earth is a solid iron-nickel alloy with a radius of about 1220 kilometers. It is the densest layer of the Earth and produces the planet's magnetic field through the movement of molten iron in the outer core. The inner core is believed to have formed as a result of solidification of the outer core due to decreasing temperatures and increasing pressure.
Is the Core composed of Iron and Nickel?
Contrary to common belief, we cannot be certain of the composition of the Core of our planet because we do not have samples of it. We base our assumption on evidence elsewhere:The Earth's electromagnetic field implies that there is Iron in the Core.Ironic Meteorites from space have a composition of Nickel and Iron. They have the same density as the Core. We therefore say that at the formation of the Earth, such meteorites were accumulated to form the core of the planet.Alternatively, the core could be composed of radioactive elements, which is what supplies the Earth with a constant energy supply. This is shaky however, as it leaves much unexplained. Until there is concrete evidence from below the earth's surface, we cannot know for sure, but for all intents and purposes, yes, it is.
What is the outer core made of liquid or solid?
Melted iron and nickel alloy. It is too hot near the centre, so it is liquid. But if you want to know if the inner core is solid or liquid, then it is solid, because there is too much pressure from the rest of the Earth
What is hotter inner mantle or outer mantle?
Oh, dude, the inner mantle is definitely hotter than the outer mantle. Like, we're talking about temperatures reaching up to 4000°C in the inner mantle compared to a measly 500-900°C in the outer mantle. So, if you're looking for a hot spot, the inner mantle is where it's at.
How geologists know that earths core is made up of two parts?
Seismology - echo patterns of sound waves traveling through the earth.
How do scientist know the measuremnt of the earth mantle and core?
Because of the difference/wavering in the earths magnetic field due to thwe fact the inner core is largely Iron....
How does this principle makes it easier for geologists to understand earths?
I don' t know
How much iron does the earth contain?
While pure iron is unlikely is it thought that as much as 35% of the Earths total mass is made of a Nickel/Iron Alloy. The vast majority of this alloy is present within the Mantle and Core of the planet.
How do you know What is inside the Earths core?
Scientists study seismic waves and magnetic fields to determine the composition and properties of Earth's core. They use data from earthquakes and magnetic measurements to infer that the inner core is solid iron and nickel, while the outer core is liquid iron-nickel alloy. Deep drilling and experimental simulations also provide insights into the Earth's core composition.
What are the two most abundant element in the earths core?
Although we can not see them, we know from certain meteorites (Nickel/Iron meteorites) and from the density measurements of the rocks we see at the Earth's surface compared to the mass of the whole planet that the two most abundant elements in the Earth's core must be Iron and Nickel. Iron being the predominant of the two.
How do you know that is not a huge permanent magnet earths core?
Scientists have studied the Earth's core extensively using seismic waves and magnetic field measurements. The data show that the Earth's core is primarily made of molten iron and nickel, rather than a solid permanent magnet. Additionally, the Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten metals in the outer core, not by a single large permanent magnet in the core.
How do you know earths outer core is liquid?
Volcanoes allow the molten lava from the outer core to pass through weak spots in the mantle.
What does geologists need to know?
Geologists need to know about physics, chemistry, biology and maths.
How geologists know that Earth's core is made up two parts?
Geologists use seismic data to study the behavior of seismic waves as they pass through the Earth's layers. By analyzing these waves, they have detected the presence of two distinct layers within the Earth's core: a liquid outer core and a solid inner core. This data supports the theory that the Earth's core is composed of two parts with different physical properties.
Is there any significant improvement to the strength of an electromagnet in using a hollow iron core like an iron pipe I know a solid iron core helps but what if it's hollow?
solid is better as it has no voids that force the lines of flux around them. in AC powered electromagnets, the core is laminated of many thin layers of iron to prevent formation of eddy currents which waste power and cause heating of the core.
How do you know that there is not a huge permanent magnet at the earths core?
For one, the magnetic field changes continuously; this is not consistent with a permanent magnet.
