Why is the outer core liquid while the inner core is solid?

Geography
1 answer:
Gemiola [76]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Although the inner core is very hot, it is solid because it is experiencing very high pressure.

The outer core is not under enough pressure to be solid, so it is liquid even though it has a composition similar to the inner core.

Explanation:

The state of matter (solid, liquid or gas) of a given material depends on its temperature and pressure.

Vast, circular to elliptical dark-colored areas on the moon called maria represent:___.
irina [24]

Vast, circular to elliptical dark-colored areas on the moon called maria represent <u>very large impact</u><u> craters </u><u>filled with </u><u>basaltic lava</u>.

As the brightest and largest object in our night sky, the Moon softens the axial wobble of our home planet, making it a more habitable planet, resulting in a relatively stable climate. It also causes the tides, creating rhythms that have guided humans for thousands of years.

Without the Moon, a day on Earth would only last 6 to 12 hours. A year can be more than 1000 days. This is because the earth's rotation slows down over time thanks to gravity (or the gravitational pull of the moon). Without it, the days would fly by.
