The inner core (and there is an outer core) is probably made of a nickel-iron material, with quite a lot of other heavy metal contaminants.
About 2400km diameter, temperature about 5400 oC, and a pressure of 3.5Mbar.
The heat is due to primal radioactive elements (i.e from the date of formation), with some heat due to gravitational compression.
[From memory and without further research, I seem to remember Kelvin worked out that if there were no active source of heat in the interior, the Earth would have cooled more. He had no idea of what that could be naturally. And it was Rutherford who produced the idea of primal radioactivity as a good idea. And it is renewable to some extent as the decay chain proceeds. Please correct these old recollections.]

Is the equator in the middle of the Earth going across the outside?
yes it is. it is really hot there. it's summer there all the time!
Where is the mantle hot spot?
The mantle hot spot is located beneath the Earth's lithosphere, usually at the boundary between the mantle and the core. Hot spots are areas where magma from the mantle rises and generates volcanic activity on the Earth's surface. Examples of hot spots include Hawaii and Yellowstone.
Why are the Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the Pacific Plate?
The Hawaiian islands are not the result of plate techtonics, they are the result of volcanic activity relating to a particular hot spot in the Earth's mantle, from which a plume of hot magma rises upward and causes volcanic eruptions.
Is earth hot?
The Earth's interior is hot, with temperatures increasing with depth. The outer core is estimated to be around 4400 degrees Celsius (8000 degrees Fahrenheit), while the inner core is even hotter at approximately 5700 degrees Celsius (10,300 degrees Fahrenheit). However, the surface temperature of the Earth can vary greatly depending on location and climate conditions.
Is the weather warm or cold near the equator and why?
Because the suns rays are striking the earth and it is striking mostly the middle, (equator). It is hot. <--- That was suppose to be at the start lawll.
How hot does it get in the middle of earth?

Why did thomas neale invent the equator?
the middle of the earth was so hot it exploded. this is why it is so hot
Is there life in the middle of the earth?
No. It is far too hot and the pressure far too great
Is it possible to travel to the middle of the Earth's core?
No. Earth's interior is so hot that you could not even make it through the crust.
Is geothermal power renewable?
yes, because the middle of the earth is hot and will heat the outside, like a flask, the drink is hot and the outside is warm.
What is the middle of the earth is called?
The middle of the Earth is called the Earth's core. It consists of the inner core and outer core, which are primarily composed of iron and nickel. The core is extremely hot and plays a critical role in generating the Earth's magnetic field.
Is the equator in the middle of the Earth going across the outside?
yes it is. it is really hot there. it's summer there all the time!
Is earths core a solid?
no the core of the earth is not solid its pretty much a liquid, since the middle of the earth is so hot, the core is like a lava substance.
Where is the mantle hot spot?
The mantle hot spot is located beneath the Earth's lithosphere, usually at the boundary between the mantle and the core. Hot spots are areas where magma from the mantle rises and generates volcanic activity on the Earth's surface. Examples of hot spots include Hawaii and Yellowstone.
Why would a person be unable to dig a tunnel all the way through the middle of earth?
No One Can't Dig A Tunnel In The Middle Of The Earth Because The Tempature Inside Earth Gets Hotter As You Go Deeper. It Is Around 9000F (5000C) In The Center. It Is So Hot Inside Earth That Rocks Melt.
