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 that the Earth's core spin is believed to be the source of its what?

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.


How do the arrows this figure indicate that the inner core spins faster than the outer core?

The arrows in the figure likely represent the direction and speed of flow within the Earth's inner and outer core. If the arrows in the inner core are longer or more densely packed compared to those in the outer core, it indicates a faster rotation. Additionally, if the arrows in the inner core point in the same direction as the Earth's rotation, while those in the outer core are slower or more chaotic, this further illustrates the difference in spin rates between the two layers.


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.

Why does the outer core spin around the outer core?

Because they have different viscosities and densities.


What layer does the inner core spin in?

The inner core deep inside the earth. It is the layer below the outer core and that is where it spins...


What is the purpose of the earths outer core?

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.
