13 multiple-choice question what causes the inner core layer of the earth to be completely solid? pressure composition consistency rewatch
The Earth's inner core is solid due to extremely high pressure. Pressure from the overlying layers (mantle, outer core) forces the iron - nickel alloy in the inner core to remain in a solid state despite the high temperature. Composition refers to the material (mostly iron - nickel) but doesn't directly cause it to be solid. Consistency is not a relevant factor here. So the correct factor is pressure.
