Answer:
The term ‘NIFE’ refers to the Core of the earth.
About the Core:-
The innermost layer of the Earth is the core, with a radius of about 3500 km.
The core is made up of very heavy material mostly constituted by nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe).
It is sometimes referred to as the nife (Ni – nickel, and Fe – ferrous i.e. iron) layer.
The central core has a very high temperature and pressure.
The outer core is in a liquid state while the inner core is in solid-state.
SiAl and SiMa:-
The main mineral constituents of the continental crust are silica and alumina. It is thus called SiAl (Si-silica and Al-alumina).
The oceanic crust mainly consists of silica and magnesium; it is therefore called SiMa(Si-silica and Ma-magnesium)
