Key Stage 3
Meaning
Earth's Core is the inner two layers of the Earth underneath the mantle.
About the Earth's Core
- The Earth's Core is made of a solid inner core and a liquid outer core.
- The inner core spins due to convection currents in the outer core which generates the Earth's magnetic field.
