Answer:

inner core is liquid because of the low pressure of earth, on the other hand outer core is solid because the pressure is very high in that erea of earth.

earths inner core is solid because the high pressure prevents it from the melting. And the outer core is liquid because the pressure is lower in that part of the earth.

Explanation:

The pressure situation when we study about the Earth’s outer core, the temperature finally exceeds the melting point of nickel and iron (these elements are the chief components of Earth’s core), so because of that we find that the outer core is liquid. Here, currents of molten metal generate Earth’s magnetic field.

When we go deep in the inner core and we reach the inner core. The temperature rises Continuesly, but not as quickly as it did at the boundary of the mantle and outer core. Meanwhile, the pressure continues its steady march upward. The melting point once again surpasses the temperature, so the iron and nickel solidify.
