No. The inner and outer core are both composed primarily of iron and nickel, but the outer core is liquid and surrounds the inner core. The inner core is the innermost layer of Earth and is kept solid by the enormous pressure.
some kinds of seismic waves cannot travel through liquids, such as the outer core.

It isn't. The inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid.
The outer core is in a molten state, primarily composed of liquid iron and nickel.
the outer core is liquid
it is a liquid that is what it is
Scientists know the outer core is liquid because S waves, which cannot travel through liquid, are not detected beyond the core. Additionally, seismic waves from earthquakes have shown that P waves slow down significantly when passing through the outer core, indicating it is a liquid layer.
the outer core is considered a liquid
The Earth's outer core is a layer of liquid metal.
The liquid layer of the Earth's core is called the outer core.
Yes, earth's outer core is made of mostly liquid.
Volcanoes allow the molten lava from the outer core to pass through weak spots in the mantle.
No. Earth's outer core is liquid.
The outer core is not a solid but is in fact a liquid.
No. The inner and outer core are both composed primarily of iron and nickel, but the outer core is liquid and surrounds the inner core. The inner core is the innermost layer of Earth and is kept solid by the enormous pressure.
