The core is further divided into two parts:
* Outer Core: This is a liquid layer, mostly composed of iron and nickel, with temperatures reaching over 5,000°C. The movement of this liquid metal generates Earth's magnetic field.
* Inner Core: This is a solid ball of iron and nickel, even hotter than the outer core (around 5,200°C). The intense pressure at this depth prevents the iron from melting, despite the high temperature.
