The layer above the outer core is known as the mantle and the boundary itself is known as the Gutenberg discontinuity, named after the the German geophysicist Beno Gutenberg who discovered it. Gutenberg is also famous for his work with Charles Richter in the development of the Richter magnitude scale.
The outer core
So far as science can deduce, it must be a solid.
The earths outer core's most abundant elemant is silicon. :)
Neither. The Earth's outer core is primarily composed of molten iron and nickel. Basalt and granite are rock types found in Earth's crust, which is above the outer core.
The Liquid Outer Core.
The inner core Is solid and the outer core in liquid
Yes earths inner core is a dense ball of metal earths outer core is a layer of molten (melted) metal
no
The liquid layer of the Earth's core is called the outer core.
Depends if your talking about the inner core or the outer core: Outer core or mantle.
The solid inner and liquid outer core.
The outer core is not a solid but is in fact a liquid.
No the crust covers earths surface
no one knows
