Scientists cannot drill into the Earth's core because it is too deep, hot, and under immense pressure. The deepest hole ever drilled, the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, only reached about 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) deep, which is nowhere near the Earth's core at about 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometers) below the surface. Additionally, the extreme temperatures and pressures at the core would make drilling further impossible using current technology.
The core of the earth contains many elements, not just two.However the two most abundant elements in the earth's core are nickle and iron (the final two elements that a star can make by fusion before it dies).But there are many other elements in the core, especially ones with atomic masses greater than that of nickel and iron. Many of these heavy elements are radioactive (e.g. radium, thorium, uranium) and it is the heat generated by the decay of these heavy radioactive elements that keeps the core hot and the outer core liquid.
The earth's core, consisting primarily of molten nickel and iron, is cooling over time.
One result of convection currents in Earth's outer core is the generation of Earth's magnetic field. As the hot, molten iron in the outer core moves in a circular motion due to convection currents, it creates a dynamo effect that generates the magnetic field.
No, the inner part of the Earth's crust is not hot melted rock. The inner core of the Earth is made up of solid iron and nickel, while the outer core is composed of liquid iron and nickel. The hot melted rock is found in the mantle layer beneath the crust.
the earths core is never hot it is always going to be hot the lower you go the hoter it gets.p.s. your welcome :) say thank you ;)
the earths core gets hot by all the heat on the surface and gose to the core of the earth.
6,000 C
i think it is about 75000 degrees hot
the state of the earth's core is solid and it is very hot

It's all about radioactivity.
How many elements make up the earths crust? The earths crust is made of many layers..You can find clay and very good soil. But that is if you dig a little way down. the earth has a center which is called the core of the earth. Inside this core is lava and is incredibly hot. Like the sun but not as hot..
hot solid
