Question

The inner core in which state

Answer 1

Answer:

Earth´s inner core and outer core are both made of an iron-nickel alloy. The state of matter (solid, liquid or gas) of a given material depends on its temperature and pressure...

Answer 2

Answer:

The inner core is in solid state.

Explanation :

• The Earth is made up of four layers: the outer, solid crust; the mantle; and the core, which is divided into an outer and an inner core.
• The earth's core is its deepest stratum. It is divided into an inner core and an outer core.
• The state of outer core is liquid, whereas, inner core's state is solid.
• It is hotter inside the core than outside. However, despite the pressure present, the heat melts the core in the outer core.
• The effect of pressure, which prevails over the influence of heat in the inner core, keeps the particles of the core closely packed to create a sturdy solid.
