Source sentences:
text: Because the inner core is solid and has a greater density, it resists spinning as the Earth does.
text: Even though the field is just over 1% as strong as Earth's, its detection by Mariner 10 was taken by some scientists as an indication that Mercury's outer core was still liquid, or at least partially liquid with iron and possibly other metals.
text: Currently, the inner core is solid iron, with some other materials that were dragged along down during this layering process.
text: The outer core is a liquid iron alloy, and its motion gives rise to the magnetic field.
text: In true scientific fashion, the theory made a testable prediction: Mercury should have no magnetic field or one even less than Mars' one because its core should be solid.
text: The inner core is solid because of the greater pressure at the centre of the Earth.
text: So even though Mars spins quickly (once every 24.6 hours), its metallic core is mostly solid---the charges are not able to swirl about.
text: Even though the field is just over 1% as strong as Earth's, its detection by Mariner 10 was taken by some scientists as an indication that Mercury's outer core was still liquid, or at least partially liquid with iron and possibly other metals.
text: We know that the outer core is liquid because of seismic studies (S-waves do not travel through liquids).
text: Without the effects caused by the spinning Earth, the magnetic fields generated within the liquid core would cancel one another out and result in no distinct north or south magnetic poles.
