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.
Earth's inner core is solid.
The inner core is stronger than the outer core because it is a solid iron-nickel alloy, while the outer core is a liquid iron-nickel alloy. The high pressure at the center of the Earth keeps the inner core solid despite its extremely high temperatures.
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.
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.
The Earth's core is mostly liquid, with a small solid inner core at the very center.
iron and nickel is the answer and so is the inner core. the inner and the outer and together but the outer core is liquid and the inner core is solid
Yes the outer core of the earth is liquid. The inner core is solid though from all of the extra pressure.
The Inner (solid) and Outter (liquid) Core are made up of Nickel and Iron.
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.
The inner core is solid.

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.
the solid inner core and the liquid outer core
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.
The inner core is currently thought to be entirely solid.
