Question
the _ temperature and the _ pressure on earths inner core force it to remain a solid.
○ high, high
○ low, low
○ low, high
○ high, low
Brief Explanations
The Earth's inner core is a solid sphere composed mainly of iron and nickel. Despite the extremely high temperatures (estimated to be around 5,000 - 6,000 degrees Celsius), the inner core remains solid due to the extremely high pressure exerted on it. The pressure at the center of the Earth is so great that it overcomes the tendency of the iron - nickel alloy to melt at those high temperatures.
