When Earth's core spins, the planet turns on its axis and completes its rotation. One complete rotation is one day and night.
The direction of the Earth's core spin is believed to be the source of its magnetic field. The movement of molten iron and nickel in the outer core generates electric currents, which in turn create a magnetic field that extends around the planet and protects it from solar radiation.
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.
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.
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 other name for the outer core is the metallic outer core.
Because they have different viscosities and densities.
The inner core deep inside the earth. It is the layer below the outer core and that is where it spins...
There is no "purpose"; the density of the materials in the outer core are less pressured and spin slower than the inner core. NOTE: the inner core spins faster than the outer, creating Earth's magnetic field.
