How much thicker is the outer core than the inner core?
The outer core is 2900-5100 km thickThe inner core is 5100-6738 km thick
How is the mantle related to the outer core?
The outer core of the earth is considered to be a liquid. The mantle is considered solid rock, but could be as much as 5% molten. The outer core is mostly iron and nickel, meanwhile the mantle is mostly ultra mafic rock. The outer core is hotter and more dense than the mantle.
What state of matter within the outer core?
cool stuff
Why is the inner core solid the outer core liquid?
The outer core of the earth, composed primarily of iron and nickel, remains liquid because pressure at those respective depths is not sufficient to prevent a phase change from solid to liquid. The inner core remains solid because pressure at those depths prevents any expansion in volume, which is necessary for a substance to be in a liquid state.
Why is the core of the moon dead while Earths is active?
The Moon is a lot smaller than the Earth, therefore, Moons once active core has cooled down so much It's now hardened.
What are two divisiosn of the earths core?
, a liquid outer core that is much less viscous than the mantle, and a solid inner core.
How much of earths mass made up by the core?
The core is 33% of the Earths mass
How much of the earth's mass is made up by the core?
50%
How much thicker is the outer core than the inner core?
The outer core is 2900-5100 km thickThe inner core is 5100-6738 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.
How Much Earths does it take to make Jupiter?
In terms of volume, 1320 Earths.
How can the inner core be hotter than the outer core but be in solid form while the outer core is in liquid form?
the outer core is not under enough pressure to be solid, but the inner core has so much weight being pressed against is from the mantle, crust, outer core, and gravity that it stays as solid nickel and can not move
Do continents drift slowly on earths upper mantle or earths core?
Continents drift on top of the upper mantle. The core is much further down.
How much kilometers is between the inner core and the outer core?
1700 kilometre between it other
How is the mantle related to the outer core?
The outer core of the earth is considered to be a liquid. The mantle is considered solid rock, but could be as much as 5% molten. The outer core is mostly iron and nickel, meanwhile the mantle is mostly ultra mafic rock. The outer core is hotter and more dense than the mantle.
Why is there so much more pressure exerted on the earths core than the earths surface?
Pressure is the weight of an overlying column of material. The pressure at the core comes from 6400km of overlying rock, which is much denser than air
How much volume of earth is the core?
The crust occupies less than 1% of Earth's volume.
