Question

Scientists discovered that the inner core of Earth is a solid. Explain what evidence supports this thinking. Be sure to include how pressure, temperature, and density play a role

Answer 1

Well, the earth's inner core must get a lot of pressure which makes the inner core stay solid. But the inner core has a lot of temperature, which would make it liquid, but if you think about it, it is made up of iron. Iron is a solid, but if there is enough heat, the iron could melt. Density has a huge impact as well, because it smashes it together, which makes it solid. So, in the end, the scientists are correct because the inner core does have a high temperature but it also has pressure and density which play a huge role as well.

Explanation: This is because of the huge pressure and density it helps make it a solid. So that up there is the answer.

Answer 2

The inner core is solid because the inner core consists of a lot of pressure and high temperatures. And the more pressure and high temperatures the more dense the substance gets.
