what Temperature and pressure combine to keep the outer core in a state?
Liquid.
Pressure of outer core?
The pressure of the outer core is 681g.
Is the core liquid or solid?
There are two parts of the core: Inner and Outer. The outer core is liquid, the inner solid. The inner core is solid due to the pressure exerted on it, despite the excessively high temperature.
What causes the inner core to be solid when the outer core is liquid?
The extremely high pressure at the inner core drives the melting point of the iron and other materials up beyond the temperature of the inner core. Therefore they remain solid. The pressure in the outer core is lower sop the melting point is below the temperature in this region and so it is a liquid.
Why is the inner core solid even though it has a higher temperature than the outer core which is a liquid?
The inner core is under more pressure than the outer core.

Liquid.
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.
Pressure of outer core?
The pressure of the outer core is 681g.
Why is the inner corre solid the outer core liquid?
The inner core is solid due to the high pressure. Even at such a temperature, the pressure is so great that the material can only exist as a solid. The outer core is liquid as it is at a huge temperature, yet does not have the pressure to force it into solid form.
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 core solid even though it has a higher temperature than the outer core which is a liquid?
The inner core is under more pressure than 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.
Is the core of the earth hotter than the core of the moon?
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.
What is the difference of the outer core and the inner core?
The inner core appears to be solid, the outer core liquid. Composition is roughly the same nickel-iron mix. Pressure and temperature are greater in the inner core.The inner core is also beneath the mantke
How many degrees is the outer core?
The temperature of the outer core is about 5500˚C
