Magma never did get in the inner core of the earth. The inner core is actually solid but still very hot.
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.
false
The outer core is thicker than the inner core. The outer core is about 2,260 kilometers thick, while the inner core is approximately 1,220 kilometers thick.
the solid inner core and the liquid outer core
The inner Earth consists of the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The outer Earth is composed of the atmosphere, hydrosphere (water bodies), lithosphere (solid Earth), and biosphere (living organisms).
From the center outwards, the inner core comes first. Going towards the center, the outer core comes first.
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.
The inner core is solid.The outer core is liquid.It may seem odd that the hotter, inner core is solid while the outer core is liquid magma, but in the inner core you have the entire pressure of the earth pushing down on you.The outer core is hot, molten iron and nickel under extreme pressure. Convection currents cause movements in the liquid outer core. Scientists hypothesize that these movements cause Earth's magnetic field. The outer core surrounds the inner core, which occupies the center of Earth. The inner core is also iron and nickel and is also extremely hot. But pressure within the inner core is so great that it remains a solid.

outer core is liquid whereas the inner core is solid
outer core is liquid whereas the inner core is solid
The inner core is a solid, and the outer core is a liquid.
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
Crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
Both really the inner core is more hotter than the outer core
