what is the solid inner part of the earth called?
inner core
the iron-rich core region of the earth is divided into a radius solid inner core and a radius liquid outer core. the rotation of the earth creates convective eddies in the outer core region that cause it to function as a dynamo. this generates a magnetosphere about the earth that deflects particles from the solar wind, which prevents significant erosion of the atmosphere from sputtering. as heat from the core is transferred outward toward the mantle, the net trend is for the inner boundary of the liquid outer core region to freeze, thereby releasing thermal energy and causing the solid inner core to grow. this iron crystallization process has been ongoing for about a billion years. in the modern era, the radius of the inner core is expanding at an average rate of roughly per year, at the expense of the outer core. nearly all of the energy needed to power the dynamo is being supplied by this process of inner core formation.

the inner cover provides a barrier between the telescoping cover and the bees. in more temperate climates, a plastic foil may be used as an inner cover. plastic foil should not be used to winter bees under, as trapped condensation would cause the hive to become wet, and bees can be lost due to freezing when temperatures fall during the night. in areas with a hot summer, a solid inner cover with a communication hole provides dead-air space for insulation against both heat and cold. this prevents the bees from gluing the top cover to the top bars of the super under it. when an inner cover is used, the top cover is more easily removed from the hive. notches in the frame of the solid inner cover and telescoping cover can serve as an upper entrance for the bees. a communication hole in the middle allows bees to reach emergency food placed above by the beekeeper if it becomes required.
