What causes heat in the inner core?
The heat comes in the part were the core was and it melts
How do the earths inner core and outer core interact with each other?
The Earth's inner core and outer core interact through the process of convection. Heat from the inner core causes the outer core to heat up and become less dense, leading to the movement of molten iron and nickel in a circular pattern. This convection motion generates the Earth's magnetic field.
Heat rising from within earth causes earth's what to move?
Heat rising from within the Earth causes the tectonic plates to move. This movement can result in earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
What happens to temperature of earth as you move closer to the inner core?
As you move closer to the Earth's inner core, the temperature increases. This is because the inner core is surrounded by layers of molten metal and rock, which generate heat through radioactive decay and residual heat from Earth's formation. The temperature at the Earth's inner core can reach up to around 5700°C (10,300°F).
What causes volcanic activities in the world?
Heat from the Earth's core.
