It's because of the pressure from the layers above causes the particles of iron and nickel to be tightly packed.

What causes this layer to remain solid despite the high temperature?
The Earth's inner core reaches temperatures that are at times greater than 9000°F. What causes this layer to remain solid despite the high temperature?
Is the core liquid or solid?
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.
What causes the lower mantle to remain solid despite high temperatures?
Me because I am so hot
Why the inner core solid despite its extremely high temperature?
The very high pressure of all the weight of the world sitting on it.
What is the two difference between the inner core and the outer core of earth?
the two difference are that the inner core is solid and even though its very hot. the outer core are high temperatures
Why is the inner core solid despite of high temperatures?
Due to extre,e pressure!!
What does the inner core do when it's under so much pressure?
It remains solid despite the high temperatures as the confining pressure drives the melting temperature up above the temperatures which are found within the inner core.

How is it possible that the inner core is a solid but its also the hottest layer?
The pressures from surrounding material is so intense that despite the high temperatures, the metals of the inner core cannot melt.
Which of these causes the lower mantle to remain solid despite high temperatures?
these nutz
Why is the inner core solid but the outer core liquid if both regions have very high temperatures?
The pressure is higher in the inner core.
What is inner core solid liquid or gas what makes it phase?
The earth's inner core is solid composed of nickel iron alloy. It is solid despite the very high temperature because of the very high pressure.
What causes the lower mantle to remain solid despite high temperatures?
Me because I am so hot
What material could be solid at temperatures around 1500 K in the inner regions of the Solar nebula?
metals
Why doesn't the inner core move like a liquid?
moves like a solid because it has so much pressure it turns into solid
Earths inner core is solid because of?
Earth's inner core is solid due to the exceptionally high pressure (approximately 330 to 360 GPa) which drives up the melting point of iron beyond the temperatures found within the inner core.
