Is the outer core the part of earth that makes up two thirds of earths mass and flows slowly like putty?
No, it's the mantle that makes up about 82% of the Earth by volume. It consists of iron and magnesium-rich silicate rocks. The core is mostly iron, with a small percentage of nickel. The outer core is molten and flows, and the inner core is solid. ChaCha!
