[Cowpolk]

A molten outer core, with a cooler, more solid inner core. The inner core spins, which is why we have a magnetic field around Earth.

Or maybe Hobbits.

Could be Gremlins and spicy nachos with extra chees and bacon

Earth is actually not round. The Earth is an irregularly shaped ellipsoid.

Yo momma is an ellipsoid.

Well, I'm betting on Cowpolk. Pac-Man with teeth? That's some scary <expletive>...

Inner earth gremlin bacon, or do they raise livestock?

I don't eat the piggy and I wouldnt eat gremlin, but turkey bacon is delicious

Pigmy ponies and Huskies with yellow snow

How was this proven, and dont say oz's magnet and weight backyard experiment or that pigmy ponies told you so

A Purple elephant just told me the Earth is round Could have been pink it was a quick flash

If you had to choose one of the two, would you choose tortilla chips or fritos to go with inner earth hot salsa

Can I get bacon with the order?

it is not in season

 

[Cowpolk]

it is not in season

Ok but just no yellow snow

 

[dsturgeon]

Ok but just no yellow snow

There is not a box for other on the questionnaire, so I will put you down for fritos

It's not "proven", but:
There are no samples of Earth's core accessible for direct measurement, as there are for Earth's mantle. Information about Earth's core mostly comes from analysis of seismic waves and Earth's magnetic field. The inner core is believed to be composed of an iron–nickel alloy with some other elements.

Not even a lemon Icee?

I like Frito pies

@Runwildboys put this thread on lockdown today. Well done good sir.

But what is on the bottom of earth there has to be something there.

We're riding on the back of a giant turtle!

Is this what your model is?

If so, I have an easy experiment for you:
On the equinox, at sunrise where you live, draw a straight line about 55' long on a reasonably flat surface, and plant a straight 6' long pole about a foot into the ground, pointing at the sun on the horizon. Then mark on the model the location on Earth at which the sun is directly overhead. One hour later, plant another pole 6" farther down the line, pointing at the sun. Then mark the location at which the sun is directly overhead. Repeat this every hour until sunset.

Now draw a line on the model, showing the path of the sun, then look from the end of the first pole to the end of the last pole and ask yourself why the ends of the poles are all in a straight line, and not a half circle, like they will be on the model.

Sorry...Make the poles 5 feet apart, not 6 inches. Don't ask.

Volcanic eruptions is proof of molten rock and metal.

A compass pointing north is proof of electromagnetic currents coming from a metal core.

Maybe there is oil or water in the core

 

[Runwildboys]

Maybe there is oil or water in the core

Considering how oil is created, that would be impossible. And if oil somehow made it to the core, it would burn up, and water would evaporate.
