Asked by rubyborromeo94

Answer (1)

Answer:The Earth's outer core is liquid due to:1. *High temperature* (4,000-6,000°C)2. *Pressure* (140 GPa), which is not enough to keep metals solid3. *Composition*: iron and nickel metals with high melting points4. *Presence of elements* (sulfur, oxygen, silicon) that lower the melting pointThese factors combined make the outer core liquid, enabling the creation of magnetic fields that protect the planet.
