Compare and contrast the outer core and the inner core.

Answered by admin @



OUTER CORE

The outer core of the Earth is a fluid layer about 2,300 km thick.

It is composed of mostly iron and nickel that lies above Earth's solid inner core and below its mantle.

The transition between the inner core and outer core is located approximately 5,150 km beneath the Earth's surface.

Unlike the inner core, the outer core is not solid.

This is also referred to as the "liquid core".




INNER CORE

The Earth's inner core is the Earth's innermost part.


It is primarily a solid ball with a radius of about 1,220 km.


It is composed of an iron–nickel alloy and some light elements.


The temperature at the inner core boundary is approximately 5400 °C.
