Yes, the outer core of the Earth is in a liquid state and is in constant motion due to convection currents caused by heat from the inner core and the cooler mantle above. This movement is crucial for generating Earth's magnetic field through the dynamo effect. The flow of molten iron and nickel in the outer core contributes to the dynamic processes within the Earth.
What else can I help you with?
What is thicker inner or outer core?
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.
Does the inter core have more pressure then the outer core?
Yes, Inter core has more pressure than outer core and that's why outer core is solid, because there is not enough pressure in outer core.
Are the inner and outer core of earth the same?
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.
What is the other name of outer core?
The other name for the outer core is the metallic outer core.
How did the outer core become solid?
It isn't. The inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid.
What body wave can't move through the liquid outer core?
S waves cannot travel through the outer core because they can only travel through solids, and the outer core is liquid.
What do convections do in the inner core and outer core?
They move the hot and colder parts around.
How can the inner core be hotter than the outer core but be in solid form while the outer core is in liquid form?
the outer core is not under enough pressure to be solid, but the inner core has so much weight being pressed against is from the mantle, crust, outer core, and gravity that it stays as solid nickel and can not move
Does the earth's outer core make up about 25 percent of earth's total volume?
i like to move it move it
Why don't secondary waves move through the outer core?
Because it has been proven that the outer layer is made of liquid and secondary waves do not move through liquid ^~^
What is thicker inner or outer core?
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.
Does the inter core have more pressure then the outer core?
Yes, Inter core has more pressure than outer core and that's why outer core is solid, because there is not enough pressure in outer core.
Where the outer core is locate?
the outer core is located next to the innner core
Are the inner and outer core of earth the same?
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.
Which layer of earth is made up of liquid metal?
the outer core
Is the outer core solid or liquid?
the outer core is liquid
Is the outer core solid?
the outer core is considered a liquid
