Why is the inner core a solid and the outter core a liquid?

The reason that the inner core is a solid and the outter core is a liquid is because the inner core is the greatest amount of pressure from the other layers. Why the outter core is a liquid is because inside of it is metal that just flows around in there.


What is inner core and outter core?

The inner core is a solid, dense ball of iron and nickel at the center of the Earth. It is surrounded by the liquid outer core, which is also made of iron and nickel but in a molten state. The outer core is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field through convection currents.


What is the range of density within the inner core?

The inner core was discovered in 1936 by Inge Lehmann and is generally believed to be composed primarily of iron and some nickel. Its estimated density is between 12.6 to 13.0 grams to cubic centimeters.


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 is the earth interior made up of?

its made of a mantle, inner core, outter core and crust.......and a magnetic field. The interior is made up of the # crust # lithosphere (part of crust & upper mantle) # upper mantle # asthenosphere (more liquid-like part of mantle) # lower mantle # outer core (liquid ball) # inner core (solid ball) ...is what im pretty sure of

Is the outter core of earth liquid?

Yes the outer core of the earth is liquid. The inner core is solid though from all of the extra pressure.

How many kilometers is earths inner core?

Approximently 1,230km Outter core-2,200km Mesosphere-2,550km Asthenosphere-250km Lithosphere-15-300km


Which state of matter is the outter core?

The outer core is a liquid while the inner core is a solid due to the pressure... But the outer core is a liquid due to the fact that it doesn't have the WHOLE Earth around it.
