Mantle?

the iron remains solid because the pressure exerted by the rest of the planet due to gravity contains the iron element and prevents its liquification.

Why is earths inner core solid even though its temperature is hotter than that which would melt iron?

it is like 62,000,00 degrees down there


What is hotter inner mantle or outer mantle?

Oh, dude, the inner mantle is definitely hotter than the outer mantle. Like, we're talking about temperatures reaching up to 4000°C in the inner mantle compared to a measly 500-900°C in the outer mantle. So, if you're looking for a hot spot, the inner mantle is where it's at.


Why is the inner core solid even though it's hotter than the outer core?

the inner core has to be really hot so when the hotness reaches the crust it feels normal because if the inner core was a normal temperature that when the hotness gets to the crust it would be freezing!


Is the core of the earth hotter than the core of the moon?

The outer core is liquid. Its pressure is low enough and its temperature high enough for it to melt. The inner core is solid. Both its pressure and temperature are higher than the outer core, but the increased pressure overwhelms the increased temperature, keeping the inner core from melting.


What is hotter than a lightning bolt?

The sun is hotter than a lighting bolt :)Most lightening bolts are as hot as the surface of the sun. the inner part of the sun is hotter than a bolt though.


How does height effect temperature of a place?

When you go higher up it gets colder. Then the lower you go it gets hotter because the closer you are to the inner core the hotter it gets.


How does density temperature and pressure change as you move on the lithosphere to the inner core?

It gets hotter and more pressure is released because the inner core is a solid layer .


What is the layer that has the highest temperature?

The layer of Earth with the highest temperature is the inner core, with temperatures reaching up to 5,700 degrees Celsius (10,300 degrees Fahrenheit). This high temperature is due to the intense pressure at the center of the Earth, which keeps the inner core in a solid state despite its extreme heat.


Is the inner core of the earth nine hundred degrees?

No, the inner core of the Earth is much hotter than nine hundred degrees. The temperature at the inner core can reach up to around 5700 degrees Celsius.
