If you were able somehow to remove the core of the Earth (let us say, by drilling a really deep hole and pumping out the liquid metal with very heat resistant equipment - this is well beyond our technological capability but we can at least imagine having better technology) the planet would simply contract to fill in the space where the core used to be. The structural strength of the planet is not nearly great enough to keep it from collapsing into the vacancy at the center. Of course, if the planet were to contract in this manner, the resulting earthquakes on the surface would be utterly cataclysmic and would destroy everything we now have, leaving a lifeless and barren world.

What happen to the earth if a nuke hit the core?
Well, the earth would pretty much....end. But, the chances of that happening is VERY unlikely. We cant even reach the 3rd layer of the Earth...
What will happen when the core stop moving?
If this happens then the earth's Magnetic field will be lost.
Is the core mantle crust or the surface the hottest part of the Earth?
The inner core would be the hottest layer of the Earth.
What will happen when there will be no oxygen in earth?
the earth would die
Is there phosphorus in the Earth's core?
Though we haven't been to the core of the Earth to see what is there, no thinking geologist would suggest there is any phosphorus in the Earth's core. The core of the Earth is thought to contain mostly iron and some nickel. There will also be some heavy metals, but no phosphorus. Phosphorus is a low density metal, and is actually less dense than water! It would not have sunk into the molten core of the earth during planetary differentiation while earth was forming and taking on its early structure.
What would happen if earth's core were to surface?
Just pray it doesnt happen... Because if it does, we'll all be no where, since Earth would be no more...!
What would happen if an atomic bomb hit the earth's core?
very little
What will happen if the earth started rotating faster?
It would effect the earth's electromagnetic field as it is the spinning of the earth's core that creates the field.
What would happen if the Earth's outer liquid core were to solidify?
If the outer core were to solidify, it is likely Earth would lose its magnetosphere which is shielding the planet from the solar winds. The atmosphere would eventually be stripped away, and with it, surface water.
What will happen if the earth starts rotating at a faster speed?
I'm sure it would effect the earth's electromagnetic field as it is the spinning of the earth's core that creates the field.
What will happen if there's no earth's core and mantle?
no magnetic field
