Actually the earth's core isn't simply 1 thing. Chemically, the Earth can be divided into the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. By comparing material strength, the layering of the earth is categorized as lithosphere, asthenosphere, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and the inner core.
Scientists base their predictions mostly on the density of materials, and how materials would react on the eart's gravity, and sometimes based on seismic activity.

What else can I help you with?
What is the diameter of Mercurys core?
Mercury's core has a diameter of about 3,600 miles (5,800 kilometers), which is roughly 85% of the planet's total diameter. It is composed mostly of iron and nickel, and is thought to be partially molten.
Is mantle made of molten metal?
No, the mantle is not made of molten metal. It is a layer of solid rock that lies beneath the Earth's crust and above the core. The mantle is primarily composed of silicate minerals.
What is made of solid and melted rock?
the outer core. the last answer was the inner core.. but im sorry to tell them that im doing this section in school currently and the OUTER core is made of molten metal. the inner is solid metal.
Is outer core made of solid metal?
The Earth's inner core is solid metals and the outer core is liquid metals.
What is the part that surrounds the inner core called?
The part surrounding the inner core is called the outer core. It is a layer of molten metal that surrounds the solid inner core of the Earth.
What is the diameter of Mercurys core?
Mercury's core has a diameter of about 3,600 miles (5,800 kilometers), which is roughly 85% of the planet's total diameter. It is composed mostly of iron and nickel, and is thought to be partially molten.
Is earth's mantle made of molten rock or molten metal?
metal maybe iron or nickel or both
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.
Is mercurys core really hot or just hot?
The core of Mercury is very hot and not at all cold. The core is made up of iron rich ore which has an almost complete molten liquid global magentic field.
Is mantle made of molten metal?
No, the mantle is not made of molten metal. It is a layer of solid rock that lies beneath the Earth's crust and above the core. The mantle is primarily composed of silicate minerals.
What is made of solid and melted rock?
the outer core. the last answer was the inner core.. but im sorry to tell them that im doing this section in school currently and the OUTER core is made of molten metal. the inner is solid metal.
What is the core mostly made of molten metal or solid metal?
It is widely scientifically believed that the inner core (deepest part of Earth) is made of solid iron. However the inner core is surrounded by an outer core of iron and nickel that is believed to be molten material.
The core is made up of what molten metal?
It is thought to be mostly iron.
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
Does the earth's inner core consist of molten metal?
No. It is a solid metallic alloy.
What is mercurys core up of?
Mercury's core is made of iron, with a diameter of 3600 km to 3800 km. The silicate outer shell is only 500 to 600 km thick. At least some of the core is molten. Mercury's core is made of iron, with a diameter of 3600 km to 3800 km. The silicate outer shell is only 500 to 600 km thick. At least some of the core is molten.
Is outer core made of solid metal?
The Earth's inner core is solid metals and the outer core is liquid metals.
