Why is the core of the earth molten?

What will happen if our Earth,s molten core & liquid magma become cold & solid?

  • The earth's core and under the solid outer skin, the crust, hot liquid magma is there which some times get out through active volcanoes and the red hot flowing liquid called lava. What would happen if hot magma transformed into solid rocks?

  • Answer:

    By the time this happens naturally it is likely that the Sun would have expanded to a red giant and destroyed the earth anyway. Were it to happen overnight by some supernatural cause then our main problem would be the loss of the magnetic field created by the liquid core. This Magnetic field helps protect life on Earth from solar radiation. Without it much life on Earth may find its continuation untenable

1. Volcano's would cease to exist 2. Plate techtonic movement would cease to exist and the land would be worn to beneath the sea 3. The earths magnetic field would disappear 3a we would lose protection from solar radiation due to 3 the atmosphere would start to be blown away due to 3a 4 due to 3a and 3b we would all die!

we lose the magnetic field more rays make it to the ground and the air would start leaking into space ....yeah that would make for a bad day haha

That soft squidgy bit in the middle also generates our magnetic fields which do quite a good job of deflecting some of the solar radiation that's banging around up there. Without those Fields I'm afraid our atmosphere will just get stripped away Mars has a solid core so I suppose we could end up a bit like that. By the way with all that stuff just flowing around down there, we're long over due for a polar shift when the north and south pole decide they want to be somewhere else. Which promises to be a pretty exciting day.

the earth will die

Just look at Mars, and there is your answer. No more plate tectonics and no more magnetic fields. Mars is half the diameter so 1/8 the volume of earth. A smaller body looses heat faster, so Mars got cold first. By the way, it's magma underground, lava when erupted.

Earth most likely to lose it grativity power. Well, get your own imagination if that happen. One for sure, we won't survive. (when I said gravity it not only mean the magnet that make you be able to stand on your feet in the ground, but also what makes the earth in its position in the galaxy).

Just come a while

One thing that will happen is that the earth will go off its axis, and when that happens, just about everything else you can imagine will follow.
