I think you are correct. The general scientific consensus is that the inner core is under extreme temperature (same as the surface of the sun) and pressure and therefore must be a solid hunk of iron (100km across or something), but I think they've all got it wrong. The net gravity should be zero in all directions at the core and therefore, I would expect the core to be a vacuum, probably not nearly as hot as believed and probably low pressure. I have yet to see a reasonable explanation of why it is thought to be high pressure anyway.

The immense pressure from the layers outside of the inner core.


Is the inner core under extreme pressure?

Yes, the inner core of the Earth is under extreme pressure due to the weight of the Earth's layers above it. This pressure is what helps maintain the solid state of the inner core despite its high temperatures.


Earths inner core is solid because of?

Earths inner core is solid due to the extreme pressure from the weight of the layers above it, which exceeds the melting point of the iron and nickel it is composed of. This pressure prevents the core from melting despite its high temperature.

What type of rock can be found in the Earths inner core?

The rock found in Earth's inner core is primarily composed of iron and nickel. This molten rock is in a state of extreme pressure and temperature, creating a solid inner core due to the immense pressure.


The inner core is under so much pressure it does not move like a liquid it does what?

The inner core of the Earth is under extreme pressure, causing it to remain solid despite its high temperature. This solid inner core is surrounded by the liquid outer core, which is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field through its convective flows.


Why does the earths inner core remain solid?

The Earth's inner core remains solid due to the immense pressure that exists at the center of the planet. This pressure is so high that it prevents the iron and nickel in the inner core from melting, despite the high temperatures. Additionally, the inner core's solid state is maintained by the slow cooling and freezing process that occurs as heat escapes from the core to the outer layers of the Earth.


Is Earth's inner core surrounded by a liquid outer core?
