What were the twin towers made of?
The WTC was primarily a lightweight steel structure; however, its 244 perimeter columns made it “one of the most redundant and one of the most resilient” skyscrapers.

Chrysler Building: 0 deaths 3,000 workers, building at an average rate of four floors per week, manually laid almost 4 million bricks until the structure was complete. Surprisingly, no workers died constructing the Chrysler Building despite the speedy pace at which it was finished.
What are some interesting facts about the inner core?
Scientists continue to study the inner core, mostly through the use of seismic activity, as they try to learn more about it. Interesting Inner Core Facts: The temperature of the inner core is believed to be approximately 5400 degrees Celsius, or 5700 Kelvin. This heat is caused by three elements: residual heat from the formation of the earth,
Is the Earth’s inner core solid or liquid?
It was once believed that the earth’s inner core was liquid, but Inge Lehmann – a seismologist – proved in theory in 1936 that the inner core was solid, and the outer core was liquid. The inner core is believed to be made up of an iron-nickel (metal) alloy.
How is the magnetic field created in the inner core?
The magnetic field is created when the outer core flows around the inner core. Some find it hard to believe that the inner core can be solid, considering how hot it is. This inner core is able to remain solid because the center of the earth exists in extremely high pressures.
What is the pressure in the inner core?
In comparison, the flattening of the Earth as a whole is close to 1⁄300, and the polar radius is 21 km shorter than the equatorial one. The pressure in the Earth’s inner core is slightly higher than it is at the boundary between the outer and inner cores: It ranges from about 330 to 360 gigapascals (3,300,000 to 3,600,000 atm).
