Outline the structure of the core. - Answer The core is made up of dense rocks containing iron and nickel alloys. It is divided into the solid inner core and the molten outer core, which has a temperature of over 5000C. This heat is produced due to two processes: primordial heat left over from the Earth's formation and radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes.
