Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the approximate temperature range of the Earth's outer core? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand that the Earth has different layers: crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
  • Step 2: Know that the outer core is a liquid layer made mostly of iron and nickel.
  • Step 3: Research or recall that temperatures in the outer core are very high due to the heat from the Earth's interior.
  • Step 4: Find that the temperature in the outer core is estimated to be between 4,000 and 6,000 degrees Celsius.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the approximate temperature range of the Earth's outer core is 4,000 to 6,000 degrees Celsius.
