Answer:

Hi! The answer is this, The pressure on the inner core makes the inner core into a solid state, the temperature is hotter that the outer core but it's not hot enough to melt a substance do to the pressure squeezing down from all the layers above! :3

Explanation:

I took this test and got 100% on it so if you need help on other questions just let me know! <3

P.S: Make sure you put your answer in your own words!

Explanation:

From the studies done on seismic elastic waves, it has been discovered that the innermost core of the earth is a solid concentric layer. Seismic P and S waves can be propagated through solids but the s-waves are cut off in contact with a liquid medium. This is because s-waves are shear waves and fluids do not shear.

  • At the outer core, the s waves is cutoff and it reappears in the region of the inner core.
  • This shows that the inner core is solid.
  • The inner core is made up of iron and nickel with some other siderophiles.
  • At the inner core, the pressure is very great. Pressure here is about 350gigapascal.
  • This huge pressure compresses matter into solids despite the very high temperature.
  • Also, during the differentiation of the earth, the heavier minerals moves downward to the core due to their density. Metals in the core have density of about 13g/cm³.

If you turned a frog egg upside down, you would expect it to reorient relative to gravity because?
lianna [129]

If you turned a frog egg upside down, you would expect it to reorient relative to gravity because the dense yolk granules concentrated in the vegetal hemisphere of the egg respond to gravity.

The frog egg is very large as compared to the normal egg cell. It is unevenly distributed with a top dark colored pole called animal pole and a light yolky pole called a vegetal pole.

The vegetal pole is concentrated with the yolk that is present for providing the nourishment to the growing embryo. The animal pole is the one from where the sperm enters and the development of embryo take place.

As the vegetal pole is denser as compared to animal pole so it will respond to the gravity and reorient along the direction of gravity.
