The 8 pages that link to Earth's outer core, each with the reason it gives.

• P wavesBroader topic: P waves cross this liquid layer, but change speed and direction within it.

• Earth's magnetic fieldBroader topic: Its moving conductive fluid supplies the currents that sustain the field.

• S-waveBroader topic: Its liquid state cannot support the shear motion of S-waves.

• Geomagnetic reversalBroader topic: Its moving, electrically conducting fluid drives the changing magnetic field.

• Core–mantle boundaryBroader topic: It forms the metallic, liquid side of the interface.

• GeodynamoBroader topic: Its electrically conducting fluid is the moving medium of Earth’s geodynamo.
