THE temperature distribution in the Earth's core places important constraints on the Earth's internal heat budget and on models of the geodynamo. The solid inner core crystallizes from a liquid outer core, consisting mainly of iron alloyed with a lighter element, at a depth of about 5,100 k...

The inner core of the Earth is _. A. Cooler than the outer core B. At the same temperature as the outer core C. Warmer than the outer core D. Has no temperature difference with the mantle 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 C。解析:地球的内核比外核温度更高。随着深度增加,地球内部温度升高,...
we find that the Earth's mantle depletions of V, Cr, and possibly Mn can be explained by core formation in a high-temperature magma ocean under oxygen fugacity conditions about two log units below the iron–wüstite buffer, though the depletion of Mn may be due entirely to its volatility....
The Earth's core same temperature as the surface of the sun.August 01, 2019 It's a mystery that has puzzled generations of scientists: At the very center of our planet, within a liquid outer core, is a Pluto-sized orb of solid iron. That's right, solid — even though it's nearly...
This paper attempts to estimate the temperature of the deep interior of the early Earth. The initial temperature cannot be too high or too low in order to realize the present-day thermal state, such as the surface heat flow and the inner core size. Two constraints have been placed: (1) ...
Quentin Williams, associate professor of earth sciences at the University of California at Santa Cruz offers this explanation
Earth's core is structured in a solid inner core, mainly composed of iron, and a liquid outer core. The temperature at the inner core boundary is expected to be close to the melting point of iron at 330 gigapascal (GPa). Despite intensive experimental and theoretical efforts, there is lit...
