The inner core - the centre of earth - is solid and about 780 miles (1,250 km) thick. The inner core may have a temperature up to about 13,000°F (7,200°C = 7,500 K), which is hotter than the surface of the Sun. The inner core (which has a radius of about 750 miles (1,228 km) is solid. The core is a dense ball of the elements iron and nickel.
What else can I help you with?
What is the scientific name for the inner core?
The scientific name for the Earth's inner core is "Earth's solid inner core."
Are the inner and outer core of earth the same?
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.
What are the two parts of the inner core?
the solid inner core and the liquid outer core
What happens to S waves and P waves as they pass through the Earth's inner core?
As S waves encounter the Earth's inner core, they stop being transmitted because the inner core is solid and does not allow shear waves to pass through. P waves, on the other hand, experience a significant increase in velocity and refraction as they pass through the inner core.
What happens to temperature of earth as you move closer to the inner core?
As you move closer to the Earth's inner core, the temperature increases. This is because the inner core is surrounded by layers of molten metal and rock, which generate heat through radioactive decay and residual heat from Earth's formation. The temperature at the Earth's inner core can reach up to around 5700°C (10,300°F).
What happens to p-waves when they strike the inner core?
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.
What happens to p-waves when they strike the inner core.?
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.
What happens to the energy from the suns rise that reach earth?
it goes into the inner core.
What happens in earths interior to produce earths magnetic?
