Why is the inner the outer core liquid?
The inner core of the Earth is solid due to high pressure preventing melting, while the outer core is liquid because it is under less pressure. The outer core is also hotter, allowing it to remain in a liquid state.
Is the inner core molten?
The inner core is solid due to pressure. With less pressure on it, the outer core is liquid.
How is the inner core and outer core different from each other?
The outer core is liquid, the inner core is solid The outer core surrounds the inner core The outer core is iron-rich, the inner core is iron-rich and nickel-rich There is more pressure acting on the inner core The inner core is hotter
what Temperature and pressure combine to keep the outer core in a state?
The temperature of the outer core is estimated to be around 4400–6100°C, and the pressure is estimated to be around 1.3 million to 3.6 million times atmospheric pressure. This combination of high temperature and pressure keeps the outer core in a liquid state.
Identify one similarity and one difference between the inner core and outer core?
The inner core is solid.The outer core is liquid.It may seem odd that the hotter, inner core is solid while the outer core is liquid magma, but in the inner core you have the entire pressure of the earth pushing down on you.The outer core is hot, molten iron and nickel under extreme pressure. Convection currents cause movements in the liquid outer core. Scientists hypothesize that these movements cause Earth's magnetic field. The outer core surrounds the inner core, which occupies the center of Earth. The inner core is also iron and nickel and is also extremely hot. But pressure within the inner core is so great that it remains a solid.
Does the inter core have more pressure then the outer core?
Yes, Inter core has more pressure than outer core and that's why outer core is solid, because there is not enough pressure in outer core.
Why is the inner the outer core liquid?
The inner core of the Earth is solid due to high pressure preventing melting, while the outer core is liquid because it is under less pressure. The outer core is also hotter, allowing it to remain in a liquid state.
Is there less pressure on the outer core than the inner core?
NO
What distinguishes Earth's inner core from its outer core?
the inner core is solid , the outer core has less pressure, so it is liquid
What are the conditions found in the outer core of earth?
The outer core is under great pressure and heat
Is earth's outer core under low pressure?
The Earth's outer core is under high pressure due to the immense weight of the overlying materials. This pressure is caused by the solid inner core and the many layers of rock and molten material above the outer core.
Is the inner core molten?
The inner core is solid due to pressure. With less pressure on it, the outer core is liquid.
What is the pressure range of the outer core?
the muppets
Is the outer core is under low pressure?
no, it is under extreme pressure
How is the inner core and outer core different from each other?
The outer core is liquid, the inner core is solid The outer core surrounds the inner core The outer core is iron-rich, the inner core is iron-rich and nickel-rich There is more pressure acting on the inner core The inner core is hotter
Is the temperature of the outer core higher OR lower than its melting point?
The outer core is liquid. Its pressure is low enough and its temperature high enough for it to melt. The inner core is solid. Both its pressure and temperature are higher than the outer core, but the increased pressure overwhelms the increased temperature, keeping the inner core from melting.
Is the outer core a liquid and the inner core a solid?
Yes, although the inner core is hotter than the outer core, there is more pressure. This pressure is enough to keep the inner core solid.
