GebbieRose Jun 16, 2006	Hint gave it away, but nice job!
bigSWAFF_69_ Jun 16, 2006	Isn't the core split up into two sections? (inner/outer core). Look in any Science book, or many websites and you will see that they count the inner and outer portions of the core (as they are different). In inner core is solid, and the outer core is liquid. http://www.palaeos.com /Earth/Geosphere/structure.htm Some sites even say that there is an Upper/Lower mantle as well. http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/vwlessons/ lessons/Earths_layers/ Earths_layers2.html (remove spaces from links before pasting it into your web-bar)
PunnettSwears Jun 16, 2006	I got it with the hint. Cool one.
Chakoteya Jun 17, 2006	shouldn't that be of THE Earth? Just nit-picking.
mercenary007 Jun 17, 2006	yeah I got that one... hint really gave it away though
Therulerofthem Jun 18, 2006	There are four sections, the inner core and the outer core are different things. The inner core is solid from the weight of the outside earth, despite the heat, and the outer core is rock as a liquid.
xolilangel827ox Jun 26, 2006	i got it right with the hint...cuz i was taught there are the inner core and the outer core and even possibly an upper/lower mantle so i guess its just the way you see it. good teaser though!
paul726 Jul 01, 2006	Geez guys, take a breather! If they're both termed "core", then there's a reason they're associated. This teaser is fine; well done Sputnik!
SPUTNIK2 Jul 13, 2006	Thanks Paul and yes this was how I was taught in school many moons ago, and I did do a quick google check befre I submitted it and it was still crust, mantle and core. Thanks for those who liked it, and for those who don't, sorry about that.
