Question

The liquid outer core of earth is 2300 km thick a scale model of the layer of earth has a scale of one in 500 km how big is the liquid outer core of the model

Answer 1

To find the size of the liquid outer core in the scale model, you would divide the thickness of the actual liquid outer core (2300 km) by the scale (1:500).

2300 km / 500 = 4.6 km

Therefore, the liquid outer core of the model would be 4.6 km thick.
