The outer core is inferred to be primarily composed of liquid iron, along with smaller amounts of nickel and other lighter elements such as sulfur and oxygen. This composition is derived from seismic studies and the behavior of Earth’s magnetic field. The movement of this liquid iron generates the planet's magnetic field through the dynamo effect.
What else can I help you with?
Does In the outer core flows water currents?
No. The outer core is made of iron and a lighter element, probably nickel. There is no free water in the outer core. But the outer core is liquid, and that liquid does circulate ("convection"). That circulation is what generates the magnetic field.
What is the earth's outer core made up of?
The Earth's inner core is made of solid iron and nickel, like the outer core, though the outer core has MOLTEN iron and nickel for its contents.
What type of rock is the earth's outer core made of?
Earth's outer core is not made of rock. It is made of molten metal; mostly iron and nickel.
What is the Earth's outer core made of?
it is made of liquid and the liquid is most likely made of iron aka (liquid iron) The outer core is composed of liquid iron and nickel mainly. So is the inner core, but it is solid.
What are the different layers of the earth structure?
The Earth is made up of several layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The inner core is solid and composed mostly of iron and nickel. The outer core is a liquid layer, also made of iron and nickel. The mantle is a semi-solid layer that surrounds the outer core, and the crust is the thin solid outer layer that we live on.
Which layer of earth is made up of liquid metal?
the outer core
Does In the outer core flows water currents?
No. The outer core is made of iron and a lighter element, probably nickel. There is no free water in the outer core. But the outer core is liquid, and that liquid does circulate ("convection"). That circulation is what generates the magnetic field.
What are the 2 different layers of the core?
The inner core and the outer core. The outer core is made of molten metal and the inner core is made of solid metal.
What are the to parts of the core made of?
outer core
What are inner core and outer core made of?
The Inner core is to be believed to be made up of iron-nickel alloy,while the outer core is made up of iron and nickel
What is made up of inner and outer core?
The outer core is made up of liquid iron and nickel.
Is the earth's outer core liquid?
Yes, earth's outer core is made of mostly liquid.
What is the earth's outer core made up of?
The Earth's inner core is made of solid iron and nickel, like the outer core, though the outer core has MOLTEN iron and nickel for its contents.
What type of rock is the earth's outer core made of?
Earth's outer core is not made of rock. It is made of molten metal; mostly iron and nickel.
What is core the layer of earth?
-Subdivided into outer and inner cores -Outer core is made up of nickel-iron alloy -Inner core is made up entirely of iron
What is earth's outer core made up of?
The earth's outer core consists of a liquid layer of lave made up of nickel and iron. The thickness of this layer is 1,408 miles. The outer core is located below the mantle.
What is the outer core of the earth is made up of?
the earth's outer core is believed to be a liquid from what scientists infer about it. It is located above the iner core.
