The inner core of the Earth is primarily composed of solid iron and nickel, with temperatures reaching up to 5,700 degrees Celsius (10,300 degrees Fahrenheit). It is under immense pressure, which keeps the metals in a solid state despite the extreme heat. The inner core is thought to play a crucial role in generating Earth's magnetic field through its movement and the convection processes in the outer core. Additionally, it may contain trace amounts of lighter elements, such as sulfur and oxygen.
