Here's why:
* Earth's Structure: The Earth is composed of several layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.
* Outer Core Composition: The outer core is primarily made up of liquid iron and nickel, with smaller amounts of other elements like sulfur and silicon.
* Extreme Pressure: While the inner core is solid due to immense pressure, the outer core is under less pressure, allowing the iron and nickel to exist in a liquid state.
