Geologists say liquid not plasma so you are bucking the trend, I admire that
The *outer core* of the Earth <http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth> is a liquid layer about 2,266 km (1,408 mi) thick composed of iron<http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron> and nickel <http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel> which lies above the Earth's solid inner core <http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_core> and below itsmantle <http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle_(geology)>. Its outer boundary lies 2,890 km (1,800 mi) beneath the Earth's surface. The transition between the inner core and outer core is located approximately 5,150 km (3,200 mi) beneath the Earth's surface.
