How do we know that the outer core is liquid?
Regional SpecificsBy tracking seismic waves, scientists have learned what makes up the planet’s interior. P-waves slow down at the mantle core boundary, so we know the outer core is less rigid than the mantle. S-waves disappear at the mantle core boundary, so the outer core is liquid. What keeps the inner core be in a solid
