Question

why is the inner core a solid?
not hot enough to melt
the metal in the core is always solid no matter what
the pressure pushes it back into a solid
the outer core is the actual solid one

why did scientists not believe wegener at the time?
he did not have enough evidence
they couldnt imagine how the continents colkd move
his evidence was all wrong
they fully believed him at the time

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

For the first question, the inner core is solid because the extreme pressure at the Earth's center counteracts the high temperature that would otherwise melt it. For the second question, scientists at the time had difficulty imagining a mechanism for continental movement, which made them skeptical of Wegener's theory despite some evidence.

Answer:

  1. The pressure pushes it back into a solid.
  2. They couldn't imagine how the continents could move.
