Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The list describes one of Earth’s layers:Composed of iron and nickle.Contains both liquid and solid parts.Extremely hot.The list is describing:
A
the core because strong pressure and temperature create both liquid and solid parts.
B
the core because weak pressure and temperature create a hot environment.
C
the mantle because strong pressure and temperature create a hot environment.
D
the mantle because weak pressure and temperature create both liquid and solid parts.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is so hot that the metals inside are all liquid. The outer core is around 1800 miles under the crust and is approximately 1400 miles thick. It is composed of metals such as iron and nickel.

Detailed explanation-2: -Outer Core The outer core, about 2, 200 kilometers (1, 367 miles) thick, is mostly composed of liquid iron and nickel.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Core is predominantly composed of iron and nickel. Even after 4.5 billion years of cooling, the Earth’s core remains very hot. The Earth’s core is divided into two layers, a solid inner core, and a liquid outer core.

Detailed explanation-4: -Outer Core This liquid iron and nickel layer spins as the planet rotates and creates Earth’s magnetic field. This magnetic field helps to protect us from the Sun’s solar radiation. The outer core is 2, 200 km thick and very hot at up to 6, 100°C!

Detailed explanation-5: -The core contains the very dense iron and nickel elements. The explanation for Earth’s layers goes back to its formation into a solid planet. As Earth cooled, the less dense elements of the crust and mantle rose to the surface, separating into layers around the innermost, dense core.
