The inner core is under so much pressure it does not move like a liquid it does what?
The inner core of the Earth is under extreme pressure, causing it to remain solid despite its high temperature. This solid inner core is surrounded by the liquid outer core, which is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field through its convective flows.
What tells us that the inner core is made up of iron?
The inner core is believed to be made up of iron due to seismic studies which show that seismic waves travel faster in the inner core than in the outer core. This indicates that the inner core is likely solid, with iron being the most abundant and stable material at high pressure and temperature conditions found in the Earth's core. Additionally, experiments conducted in laboratories suggest that iron is capable of being solid at the extreme pressures and temperatures present in the inner core.
Why is the inner core solid but the outer core liquid if both regions have very high temperatures?
The inner core is solid because of the immense pressure at that depth, which keeps the iron and nickel in a solid state despite the high temperatures. In the outer core, where pressure is slightly lower, the higher temperatures cause the iron and nickel to be in a liquid state.
Why do scientists believe that the inner core is the source of earth's magnetic field?
Waves traveling through the inner core go faster than those through the outer core.
The inner core solid liquid or gas what keeps it in this phase?
The inner core of the Earth is solid due to high pressure pushing in on it from all directions, which prevents it from melting even though it is extremely hot. The heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements also helps maintain the inner core's solid state.
The inner core is under so much pressure it does not move like a liquid it does what?
The inner core of the Earth is under extreme pressure, causing it to remain solid despite its high temperature. This solid inner core is surrounded by the liquid outer core, which is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field through its convective flows.
Explain why the inner core remains a solid even though it is very hot?
The immense pressure at the Earth's core, from the weight of all the layers above it, prevents the inner core from melting despite its extreme heat. The melting temperature of materials increases with pressure, allowing the inner core to remain solid under the high pressure conditions.
Is the outer core is under low pressure?
no, it is under extreme pressure
What keeps inner core in the phase?
The high pressure at the center of the Earth keeps the inner core in a solid phase, despite the extreme temperatures. The pressure prevents the iron in the inner core from melting, maintaining its solid structure.
What is the iron in the inner core called?
The iron in Earth's inner core is in a solid state and is commonly referred to as "solid iron." It is under extreme pressure and temperature conditions, which keep it in a solid form despite its high temperature.
What is the earth core under great pressure?
inner core my monkey says
What is the inner core texture?
The inner core of the Earth is believed to have a solid, iron-nickel composition. Due to extreme pressure and temperature conditions, the inner core is thought to have a crystalline texture, with iron atoms arranged in a regular pattern. This texture is inferred from seismic wave behavior and laboratory experiments on iron under high-pressure conditions.
What is the hottest of all earth inner and packed tightly?
The hottest part of Earth's interior is the inner core, reaching temperatures of up to 5700 degrees Celsius. The inner core is solid iron and nickel, under extreme pressure causing intense heat.
Is earth's inner core under low pressure?
I think you are correct. The general scientific consensus is that the inner core is under extreme temperature (same as the surface of the sun) and pressure and therefore must be a solid hunk of iron (100km across or something), but I think they've all got it wrong. The net gravity should be zero in all directions at the core and therefore, I would expect the core to be a vacuum, probably not nearly as hot as believed and probably low pressure. I have yet to see a reasonable explanation of why it is thought to be high pressure anyway.
Compare and contrast outer and inner cores?
The inner core is solid.The outer core is liquid.It may seem odd that the hotter, inner core is solid while the outer core is liquid magma, but in the inner core you have the entire pressure of the earth pushing down on you.The outer core is hot, molten iron and nickel under extreme pressure. Convection currents cause movements in the liquid outer core. Scientists hypothesize that these movements cause Earth's magnetic field. The outer core surrounds the inner core, which occupies the center of Earth. The inner core is also iron and nickel and is also extremely hot. But pressure within the inner core is so great that it remains a solid.
Why is the inner core solid even though it has a higher temperature than the outer core which is a liquid?
The inner core is under more pressure than the outer core.
Why the inner core solid despite its extremely high temperature?
The inner core is solid due to the extreme pressure at its center, which compresses the iron and nickel into a solid state even at high temperatures. The inner core's solid nature allows it to maintain its structure and resist the extreme temperatures present in the Earth's core.
