GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The hottest part of the core is actually the Bullen discontinuity, where temperatures reach 6, 000° Celsius (10, 800° Fahrenheit)-as hot as the surface of the sun. Inner Core The inner core is a hot, dense ball of (mostly) iron.

Detailed explanation-2: -The thermosphere is often considered the “hot layer” because it contains the warmest temperatures in the atmosphere. Temperature increases with height until the estimated top of the thermosphere at 500 km. Temperatures can reach as high as 2000 K or 1727 ºC in this layer (Wallace and Hobbs 24).

Detailed explanation-3: -The interior of Earth is very hot (the temperature of the core reaches more than 5, 000 degrees Celsius) for two main reasons: The heat from when the planet formed, The heat from the decay of radioactive elements.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mantle is much hotter and has the ability to flow. The Outer and Inner Cores are hotter still with pressures so great that you would be squeezed into a ball smaller than a marble if you were able to go to the center of the Earth!!!!!!

Detailed explanation-5: -The inner core is hotter than the outer core. However, in the outer core, the heat melts the core despite the amount of pressure present. In the case of the inner core, the effect of the pressure trumps the effect of heat and holds the core’s particles close together to form a tough solid.
