What exactly is the center of the earth like?

Answer 1

Well, it depens. I am going to post more answers to this question on a diffrent user

Answer 2

The Earth is composed of four different layers. Many geologists believe that as the Earth cooled the heavier, denser materials sank to the center and the lighter materials rose to the top. Because of this, the crust is made of the lightest materials (rock- basalts and granites) and the core consists of heavy metals (nickel and iron).

The crust is the layer that you live on, and it is the most widely studied and understood.  

The next layer is the mantle, which is composed mainly of ferro-magnesium silicates. It is about 2900 km thick, is much hotter and has the ability to flow. It is separated into the upper and lower mantle. This is where most of the internal heat of the Earth is located. Large convective cells in the mantle circulate heat and may drive plate tectonic processes.

The mantle gets warmer with depth; the top of the mantle is about 1,600° F (870° C); towards the bottom of the mantle, the temperature is about 4,000-6,700° F (2,200-3,700° C). The mantle contains most of the mass of the Earth. The Gutenberg discontinuity separates the outer core and the mantle.

The Outer and Inner Cores are hotter still with pressures so great that you would be squeezed into a ball smaller than a marble if you were able to go to the center of the Earth!

The inner core may have a temperature up to about 13,000°F (7,200°C = 7,500 K), which is hotter than the surface of the Sun.

The last layer is the core, which is separated into the liquid outer core and the solid inner core. The outer core is 2300 km thick and the inner core is 1200 km thick. The outer core is composed mainly of a nickel-iron alloy, while the inner core is almost entirely composed of iron. Earth's magnetic field is believed to be controlled by the liquid outer core.

Answer 3

h**l

Answer 4

there is a solid inner core of pure iron the size of the Moon, an outer liquid core rich in iron the size of Mars, and an irregular boundary between the liquid core and the bottom of the rocky mantle.

Answer 5

the center of the earth is known as the core.  It is made up out of primarily iron, and many other metals, however it is mostley iron and we can not tell exactly what it is made of only predictions and estimates can be made.  It is extreamly hot at the core, noboady knows exactly hows hot. Experts estimate around 3000 - 7000 degrees celcius, about (5400-12600 degrees farenheit)
