What is the earths core like?

Question

What is the earths core like?

Answer 1

Very hot molten lava  =)

Answer 2

the inner core is solid becausse there is alot of pressue around it and the outer core is liquid and made of molten rock and metals

Answer 3

Pressure is about 3 million atmospheres. It's a solid sphere of iron nickel and a little bit of sulfur.

Answer 4

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 outer layer, the solid rocky part that we live on.

The mantle is a hot semisolid, highly viscous layer that flows with the consistency of asphalt.

The core consists of two layers.  The outer core is molten metal, primarily iron and nickel and it is constantly spinning, and is believed to produce our electromagnetic field.

The inner core is a solid ball of mostly iron and nickel.  

Core: The Earth has a iron-nickel core that is about 2,100 miles in radius. 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 inner core (which has a radius of about 750 miles (1,228 km) is solid. The outer core is in a liquid state and is about 1,400 miles (2,260 km) thick.

Answer 5

full of pips and not very nice

Answer 6

The crust of the Earth is composed of a great variety of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.Earth's crust occupies less than 1% of Earth's volume.It is on crust where we all live.Three quarters of the crust is Water  .

Answer 7

well i have been there and i can tell you that it is quite hot - slightly hotter than an english summer afternoon...

To be fair to Hollywood who usually make things up - watch 'The Core' and it'll show you. It would be vey very dense, very very hot and very very iron-like.

No one really knows cos no one could ever get there.

Answer 8

Is great, the weather is always hot.

Answer 9

It just lava,when you see a volcano errupt thats the earth emptying its sack

Answer 10

iron... thats what causes the magnetic field

Answer 11

It is very very hot and it is all just lava. The more layers you go in the hotter it will get.
