No one is exactly sure how dense the core of the earth is. All we know is that the core is solid of an unknown density probably the density of a hard rock, and is denser than water for sure.
ans2. Studies of the behaviour of seismic waves have given us some ideas about the inner core. It is probably a nickel-iron mixture, with other heavy metal contamination. The heat due to radioactive decay has raised the temperature to 5700 deg C, but it is solid because of the pressure. Some of the temperature is due to gravitational pressure.
The inner core possibly rotates slightly faster then the lithosphere, though opinion is not agreed on this.

∙ 11y agoThe densitys of the earths many cores are as follows
Mantle- 5.5 g/cm3
Outer core- 10-12 g/cm3
Inner core- 12-13 g/cm3

What is more dense inner-core or outer-core?
The inner core is more dense than the outer core.
Which layer of the Earth is most dense?
The Troposphere is the thickest layer of the atmosphere.
Describe what makes up most of Earth's inner core?
The inner core of the Earth is composed mainly of a nickel-iron alloy. There's a liquid outer core that is made of iron and is very dense. The inner core is made of solid iron and nickel.
Where would you find the most dense layer of the earth?
The center of the planet. The Inner Core.
What dense center of earth is made of solid iron and nickel?
There are two parts to core at the center of the Earth.the outer core is made of liquid iron and nickel and the inner core is made of solid iron and nickel.The inner core is solid from all off the pressure pushing down on it.

What is the most dense region of the earth called?
The Inner Core is the most dense part of the Earth. It is a solid core of iron and nickel.
What is the inner segment of the earth which is rigid dense and solid?
The inner core which is made of solid iron.
What is more dense inner-core or outer-core?
The inner core is more dense than the outer core.
What is the dense sphere or solid iron and nickel at the center of the earth?
inner core
Is the inner core not very dense?
The inner core is very dense. It is the densest part of the planet.
Which layer of the Earth is most dense?
The Troposphere is the thickest layer of the atmosphere.
Is Earth's inner core surrounded by a liquid outer core?
Yes earths inner core is a dense ball of metal earths outer core is a layer of molten (melted) metal
