The Outer Core is made up of a liquid iron and nickel alloy. This creates the earth's magnetic field. It is in a liquid form due to the intense heat given off by the inner core (which is 5500C due to the decay of radioactive elements such as uranium inside) It is roughly 2300 metres thick.
What else can I help you with?
What area of earths interior is molten?
The outer core
Is earths outer core liquid or solid?
So far as science can deduce, it must be a solid.
What are the earths layers of rock classified by?
The Earth's layers of rock are classified by their composition and physical properties. The main layers are the crust (continental and oceanic), mantle, and core (outer and inner). These layers are distinguished by differences in chemical composition, density, and temperature.
What are the major layers of earths internal structure based on physical properties?
The major layers of Earth's internal structure based on physical properties are the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The inner core is solid and composed mainly of iron and nickel. The outer core is liquid and also composed of iron and nickel. The mantle is a solid layer that lies between the core and the crust, and the crust is the outermost layer that we live on.
What is the outer cores most abundant elemant?

What is Difference between earths inner core and outer core?
The inner core Is solid and the outer core in liquid
Is Earth's inner core surrounded by a liquid outer core?
Yes earths inner core is a dense ball of metal earths outer core is a layer of molten (melted) metal
Is the earths outer core a cold liquid?

What is the liquid layer of the earths core called?
The liquid layer of the Earth's core is called the outer core.
What layer is found directly above earths core?
Depends if your talking about the inner core or the outer core: Outer core or mantle.
What are the parts of the earths core?
