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.

∙ 12y agoWell, 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...
If this happens then the earth's Magnetic field will be lost.
The inner core would be the hottest layer of the Earth.
the earth would die
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.
Just pray it doesnt happen... Because if it does, we'll all be no where, since Earth would be no more...!
very little
It would effect the earth's electromagnetic field as it is the spinning of the earth's core that creates the field.
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.
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.
no magnetic field
