Answer:Earths inner core is about 3,200 - 3,960 miles below the earth surface and mainly consists of iron, nickle and some lighter elements (probably sulphur, carbon, oxygen, silicon and potassium). The temperature in the inner core is about 9032 - 10832oF. Because of the high pressure, the core is solid. The average density of the core is about 15g/cm3.
The Earth's core consists of an inner core and outer core.

The inner core is:

- solid (made of iron and nickel) due to the immense pressure there

- suspended by the liquid outer core

- believed to have a temperature like that of the sun's surface.

- only 1.7% of the Earth's mass.

The outer core is:

- liquid (made of iron and nickel, also some other lighter elements)

- about 4400 °C- 6100 °C in temperature

- 30.8% of the Earth's mass.

- important for life on Earth because it's motion forms the Earth's magnetic field; without it, the charged particles of the solar wind could strip away the Earth's atmosphere or irradiate the surface, making life unlikely.

The outer core is a core that covers the inner core from makeing the earth too hot.It also is less hotter then the inner core.Plus the core might be as hot as the sun.

1. The inner core was once in the shape of a the word bazinga

2. The inner core is about the size of the planet your mom

3. The inner core consists of the same elements as your mom
The inner core is the layer in the middle of the Earth. It has the highest temperatures and is thought to be made of nickel and iron.
