- The Earth's outer core is composed mainly of liquid iron (85 %) and nickel (5 %) with the rest made up of a number of other elements
- The outer core is 2,260 km thick
- The outer core's upper boundary is 2,890 km below the surface
- The outer core's lower boundary is 5,150 km below the surface
- The temperature of the outer core varies from 4400 degrees C at it's upper boundary and 6100 degrees C at it's lower boundary

List the layers of earth by their chemical composition and by their physical properties?
by the chemical composition is: the crust, the mantle (upper mantle and mantle), and the core. (you can put inner or outer) by the physical property is: lithosphere, asthenosphere, outer core, inner core. hope i helped

What is the liquid layer of the Earth's core called?
Based on the physical properties of the earth;The core is divided into outer core and inner core.the liquid layer of the earth core is the outer core,while the inner core is solid.
How do scientists classify the earth's internal layers?
They are classified on their composition (crust, mantle, outer and inner core) and on their mechanical properties (lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer and inner core).
What are the earths layers of rock classified by?
Earth's layers classified by their composition and their physical properties.
How does the outer core help the earth?
In more complex diagrams they show that we have an outer core. actually we do have but not for any chemical properties but for the slight difference in temperature. It helps in forming the magnetic sphere around us.
What are the major layers of earths internal structure based on physical properties?
inner core outer core lower mantle upper mantle lithosphere

Examples of the outer core?
The outer core is hotter then the inner core
What is thicker inner or outer core?
the outer core
What is the color the outer core?
the outer core is yellow
Does the inter core have more pressure then the outer core?
Yes, Inter core has more pressure than outer core and that's why outer core is solid, because there is not enough pressure in outer core.
Where the outer core is locate?
the outer core is located next to the innner core
