Earth's Layers: Earth's Crust: Upper Mantle: Lower Mantle: Outer Core: Inner Core: The temperature of the inner core is estimated to be about 5,700 K (~5,400 °C; 9,800 °F). The only reason why iron and other heavy metals can be solid at such high temperatures is because their...
Earth's interior is gradually cooling over time. As it cools, the liquid outer core crystallizes and becomes part of the solid inner core. Remarkably, the inner core "grows" by about 0.039 inches (one millimeter) every year, which equates to the solidification of 8,820 tons (8,000 tonnes...
The three layers of Earth are core, mantle and crust. Each of these layers has distinct characteristics. Understand their properties, composition and more.
