Q. How far below the surface is the inner core?

The core is found about 2,900 kilometers (1,802 miles) below Earth’s surface, and has a radius of about 3,485 kilometers (2,165 miles).

Q. What is the depth to the boundary of the outer and inner core?

The core–mantle boundary (CMB) of Earth lies between the planet’s silicate mantle and its liquid iron-nickel outer core. This boundary is located at approximately 2891 km (1796 miles) depth beneath Earth’s surface.

Q. What core is 2900 kilometers below the earth’s surface?

The ball-shaped core lies beneath the cool, brittle crust and the mostly-solid mantle. The core is found about 2,900 kilometers (1,802 miles) below Earth’s surface, and has a radius of about 3,485 kilometers (2,165 miles)….Vocabulary.

Q. How many kilometers thick is the core of the earth outer and inner?

Unlike the yolk of an egg, however, the Earth’s core is actually made up of two distinct parts: a 2,200 km-thick liquid outer core and a 1,250 km-thick solid inner core.

Q. What color is the sun’s core?

The hydrogen atoms that get squished together form an entirely different substance called helium. So now that we are in the core of the Sun, what does it actually look like? Not only is everything blindingly bright, but it just might have a pretty pink colour!

Q. Is Blue Lava real?

Blue lava, also known as Api Biru, and simply referred to as blue fire or sulfur fire, is a phenomenon that occurs when sulfur burns. It is an electric-blue flame that has the illusory appearance of lava.

Q. What color is Volcano Lava?

The color of lava depends on its temperature. It starts out bright orange (1000-1150 C). As it cools the color changes to bright red (800-1000 C), then do dark red (650-800 C), and to brownish red (500-650 C). Solid lava is black (but can still be very hot).

Q. Can lava be white?

No lava is actually white. They might look white because they are so hot that they give off a white color, but that is almost impossible for us to see. Are there lava flows under the earth?

Q. Does lava change color?

The color of lava depends on its temperature. It starts out bright orange (1000-1150 C). As it cools the color changes to bright red (800-1000 C), then do dark red (650-800 C), and to brownish red (500-650 C).

Q. Can lava be pink?

The color of lava depends on the temperature of the flow as well as the chemical composition and any impurities that are in the liquid rock. Colors can include black, red, gray, brown and tan, metallic sliver, pink, and green. When lava cools it also forms a myriad of different shapes and types of lava.

Q. Why does lava turn black?

The shade of blue of this rock is closer to gun-metal and is probably caused by the refractive index of the glass. Eventually, with exposure to the elements, the color of the rock turns to black. As older lava flows weather, the minerals in the rocks oxidize and often turn to clay minerals.

Q. What is the depth to the boundary of the outer core and the inner core?

Q. How far is it to the bottom of the Earth’s outer core from the center of Earth?

Earth’s outer core is a fluid layer about 2,400 km (1,500 mi) thick and composed of mostly iron and nickel that lies above Earth’s solid inner core and below its mantle. Its outer boundary lies 2,890 km (1,800 mi) beneath Earth’s surface.

Q. What are the similarities and differences between the inner and outer core?

The inner core and the outer core are made up of similar stuff chemically (both are made mostly of iron, with a little nickel and some other chemical elements)–the difference between them is that the outer core is liquid and the inner core is solid.

Q. What is the main difference between the inner and the outer core?

Main Difference: The main difference between the inner core and outer core of the earth is that inner core of the earth is the innermost layer of our planet, whereas outer core is the layer that surrounds the inner core.

Q. What is the inner and outer core made of?

Core. At the center of the Earth is the core, which has two parts. The solid, inner core of iron has a radius of about 760 miles (about 1,220 km), according to NASA. It is surrounded by a liquid, outer core composed of a nickel-iron alloy.

Q. What do the inner and outer planets have in common?

Inner Planets The Inner and Outer planets have many things in common. They both orbit around a star. In this case the star they orbit is the Sun. They are the same, however, because they all orbit the sun, have a core, are round, and have gravity.

Q. What are the two major differences in the composition of the inner and outer planets?

The inner planets are closer to the Sun and are smaller and rockier. The outer planets are further away, larger and made up mostly of gas. The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Q. What are the similarities and differences among these four terrestrial planets?

Answer. Answer: their similarities are: they are planets, having individual paths to orbit, and they are revolving around the sun. Differences: venus is closer to the sun, earth is after the venus and mars is after the earth. But one thing is that the earth is more beautiful than venus and mars.

Q. What are the similarities and differences of Earth Venus and Mars?

Mars is much smaller, with a diameter of only 6,792 km. And again, in terms of mass, Venus is almost Earth’s twin. It has 81% the mass of Earth, while Mars only has 10% the mass of Earth. The climates of Mars and Venus are very different, and very different from Earth as well.

Q. What is the similarities of Earth and Mars?

Mars/Earth Comparison Table. Mars is only about one-half the diameter of Earth, but both planets have roughly the same amount of dry land surface area. This is because over two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans, whereas the present surface of Mars has no liquid water.
