The hot, liquid layer of Earth, made of iron and nickel.
A
Inner Core
B
Mantle
C
Crust
D
Outer Core
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The core is made of two layers: the outer core, which borders the mantle, and the inner core. The boundary separating these regions is called the Bullen discontinuity. Outer Core The outer core, about 2, 200 kilometers (1, 367 miles) thick, is mostly composed of liquid iron and nickel.

Detailed explanation-2: -5 In the center of Earth is the core, consisting of two layers: the inner and outer core. The entire iron and nickel core is extremely hot, so it is not surprising to learn that the outer core is in a molten state. However, the inner core’s iron and nickel are solid.

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. The Inner Core (D) (1216 km) is solid nickle-iron alloy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Outer Core The core of the Earth is like a ball of very hot metals. (4000 degrees F. to 9000 degrees F.) The outer core is so hot that the metals in it are all in the liquid state. The outer core is located about 1800 milesbeneath the crust and is about 1400 miles thick.

Detailed explanation-5: -The inner core is under intense pressure, which keeps it solid despite high temperatures. Outer Core: The outer core, which is liquid, is about 1300 miles (2092 km) thick. Both the inner and outer cores consist primarily of iron and nickel and are extremely hot with temperatures ranging from 7200–9000℉ (4000–5000℃).
