Why are certain layers of Earth's interior liquid? A Hot temperatures B Intense pressure C Moving plates Dagnetic forces

The intense pressure and high temperatures deep within the Earth cause certain layers, like the outer core, to exist in a liquid state. While surface temperatures might be chillier, as you descend, the heat from the Earth's core increases due to the decay of radioactive elements and residual heat from the planet's formation. This combination of heat being so high and pressure increasing makes it easier for materials like nickel and iron to reach a liquid state! Did you know that the movement of tectonic plates is what leads to fascinating geological phenomena, such as volcanic eruptions? When plates shift, they can create fractures in the Earth's crust, allowing molten rock from the mantle to escape. This connection between liquid layers and tectonic activity is a crucial aspect of our dynamic planet—making Earth a hotbed of activity and constant change!
