Yes, although the inner core is hotter than the outer core, there is more pressure. This pressure is enough to keep the inner core solid.
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 solid inner core and the liquid outer core
It isn't. The inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid.
There are two parts to the earth's core. A liquid outer core and a solid inner core, both made of nickel-iron The reason that the inner core is solid is because the intense pressure from the entire mass of earth surrounding it compresses the liquid metal into a solid state.
Yes, the Earth's core is primarily composed of solid iron in the inner core and liquid iron in the outer core. The high temperatures and pressures at the Earth's core create these unique states of matter.
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.
There are two parts of the core: Inner and Outer. The outer core is liquid, the inner solid. The inner core is solid due to the pressure exerted on it, despite the excessively high temperature.
Well, the outer core is made of liquid and the inner core is solid so i guess in a way it kind of is solid and liquid.
This question is based on a false assumption that the outer core is solid and the inner core is liquid. This is incorrect. It is in fact the inner core that is solid (and so is the most dense) and the outer core which is liquid.
the solid inner core and the liquid outer core
outer core is liquid whereas the inner core is solid
outer core is liquid whereas the inner core is solid
The inner core is a solid, and the outer core is a liquid.
It isn't. The inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid.
The inner core Is solid and the outer core in liquid
The inner core Is solid and the outer core in liquid
Both! The outer core is in a liquid state and the inner core is a solid. Both the inner and outer core are formed mainly of iron and nickel.
