''Inner core'' doesn't simply mean "the innermost part of the Earth." It's a geological term that refers to a specific part of the Earth's internal structure. The [[w:inner core|inner core]] is structurally different than the [[w:outer core|outer core]]. The inner core is a solid ball believed to consist of an iron-nickel alloy; the outer core is a liquid layer of the same elemental composition. That difference is crucial to understanding things like how the Earth's magnetic field works. [[User:Astral|Astral]] ([[User talk:Astral|talk]]) 02:26, 1 October 2012 (UTC)   :'''Keep'''.
