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.
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.
False. Earth's core has solid and liquid parts.
In inner core is solid while the outer core is liquid. This is because the inner core, being deeper, is under more pressure.
cool stuff
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.
Well, the outer core is made of liquid and the inner core is solid so i guess in a way it kind of is solid and liquid.
No. The inner and outer core are both composed primarily of iron and nickel, but the outer core is liquid and surrounds the inner core. The inner core is the innermost layer of Earth and is kept solid by the enormous pressure.

This question is based on a false assumption that the outer core is solid and the inner core is liquid. This is incorrect. It is in fact the inner core that is solid (and so is the most dense) and the outer core which is liquid.
It isn't. The inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid.
the solid inner core and the liquid outer core
outer core is liquid whereas the inner core is solid
The inner core is a solid, and the outer core is a liquid.
outer core is liquid whereas the inner core is solid
The inner core is a solid, and the outer core is a liquid.
Both! The outer core is in a liquid state and the inner core is a solid. Both the inner and outer core are formed mainly of iron and nickel.
