HELP FAST!! How do temperature, pressure, and density impact the core of the Earth?

As the outer core is fluid and presumably convecting (and with an additional correction for the presence of impurities in the outer core), we can extrapolate this range of temperatures to a temperature at the base of Earth's mantle (the top of the outer core) of roughly 3,500 to 5,500 kelvins (5,800 to 9,400 degrees F)

Temperature makes it hot, pressure keeps the heat in and intact, and density keeps the gravitational pull within a reasonable rate.
