  • Earth's Inner Core: Solid Iron & Nickel - Explained
    That's close, but not quite right. The inner core of Earth is actually made of solid iron and nickel, not liquid.

    Here's the breakdown:

    * Outer Core: This is the liquid layer of iron and nickel that surrounds the inner core.

    * Inner Core: This is the solid center of the Earth. The intense pressure at the Earth's core is so great that it keeps the iron and nickel in a solid state, even though the temperature is extremely high (around 5,200°C or 9,392°F).
