Solution
The innermost layer of the earth is called the core. It is also known as barysphere. It is separated from the mantle by a boundary called Weichart-Gutenberg discontinuity. The core is also divided into two parts.
- The outer core, which is rich in iron, is in liquid state.
- The inner core, composed of Nickel and Ferrous (Nife), is solid in state.
