what happens to the earths core once all the oil is taken from it.?

Theevilcrimsonking is correct. It has nothing to do w/ the earth's core!\n\nOil is found in porous permeable rocks. That means it is a network of holes that are connected together w/in the rock. It also has to be "trapped" by nonpermeable rock. These rocks are found on the outer layer of the earth (crust).\n\nI think it would be virtually impossible to remove every drop of oil out of these rocks due to the way they have so many small holes & connections.\n\nFurthermore, it is even harder to estimate exactly how much oil's out there. Some of it is economically feasible to obtain while some of it isn't worth all the hassle or money. It isn't profitable in other words.

if you mean..." If the worlds oxygen ends what would happen?" then that is obvious. the worlds would slowly deteriorate\n\nLife would end

A.  All the rest have a major impact on the viability of the earth. They will effect the earth even if humans are left out of the equation.

All highly speculative give our limited time recording history.\n\nHowever, loss of circulation in the core would lead to loss of magnetic shielding and heavy flux of solar wind. It is believed this will make life very difficult for surface dwellers. Since the field is now weakening and is expected to pass through a minimum within the next few thousand years, we won't have to wait for hundreds of millions of years to find out!\n\nAlso given what little history we know, we expect that a few really big geologic shocks are in store before the end and our civilization isn't likely to make it through those. i.e. we're F'd before any of the really long term (and hard to predict) ends come about

Actually the CORE of the earth is one of the layers. It is liquid. The earth is like a tootsie pop: hard outer shell, creamy middle.

All energy eventually ends up as heat.  It's a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics

middle layer would be mantle, center would be core.

Um. No.  The Earth's core is the centre of the Earth.

In school they teach that decaying matter over millions of years turns into oil.  \nThere probably isn't infinite amounts, but there is tons of it.  I honestly don't think we could ever run out.  The problem is getting to it.  We can't drill anywhere without ticking a bunch of people off, so it can be hard to actually obtain it.

The Earth is not Hollow. Below the 60 Km crust is the semi-liquid Mantle. The core at the center is Solid.

oil forms when marine microorganisms (plankton) die and accumulate.  given the right amount of time (millions to tens of millions of years) and temperature (100-200C), they mature and become trapped below ground in the oil source rock.  this has nothing to do with the Earth moving off its axis.  all it means is that we know where to look for oil and we know that we're using it up far faster than it can form.

The Earth has probably already peaked as a haven for plants and animals and begun its long descent into oblivion, according to scientists at the University of Washington who have plotted out the future of our planet.\n\nThese are not prophets of doom who have mounted the podium to warn us that we are killing ourselves through bad stewardship. They are scientists who say all good things must come to an end sometime, and at best we've got no more than half a billion years left.\n\nAfter that, the planet will return to its ancient past, inhabited only by bacteria and single-celled organisms, just as it was in its earliest years. But in time even those will vanish as the Earth is reduced to a lifeless chunk of rock, or swallowed entirely by an expanding Sun. \n\n...

When the earth formed, it was basically all just really hot rock.  So hot, in fact, that it melted.  When the rock melted, the heavier elements (iron and nickel) sunk towards the core of the earth.  This sinking of heavy elements transferred a lot of gravitational potential energy into heat energy.  The same can be seen today.  If you drop something heavy into a bucket of water, after you drop it enough, the water itself warms up.  This heat energy from the formation of the planet was the primary source of the heat of our planet.  However, another major source of heat today is the breakdown of radioactive elements inside the earth.  Both of these contribute to the heat the Earth generates.

Earth will be destroyed by fire or by a nuclear war. In support of this belief, some point to Revelation 21:1, which says: “I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more.”\n\nThe Bible often uses the term “earth” in a figurative sense, referring to mankind. An example is found at Genesis 11:1, which says: “All the earth continued to be of one language and of one set of words.” (See 1 Kings 2:1, 2; Psalm 96:1.) At Revelation 21:1, “the former earth” refers, not to this planet, but to wicked human society that will be destroyed. This will open the way for the restoration of Paradise on earth. (Luke 23:43;  Revelation 21:4) And this agrees with the rest of the Bible, which indicates that the literal earth will never be destroyed. For instance, Psalm 104:5 states that God “has founded the earth upon its established places; it will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.” ( Ecclesiastes 1:4.) Indeed, Jehovah ‘formed the earth to be inhabited’ eternally.—Isaiah 45:18.\n\nIn the Christian Greek Scriptures, earthly governments and their peoples are shown to be subject to Satanic rule. \nThe apostle Paul referred to “the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places,” with their governments, authorities, and world rulers. (Eph 6:12) So the passing away of “the former heaven” indicates the end of political governments along with Satan and his demons. This identification of “the former heaven” harmonizes with the fact that shortly before the statement concerning the ‘former heaven having passed away,’ John had seen a vision of the complete defeat of Satan’s forces and the casting of Satan into “the abyss.” (Re 19:19–20:3) The earthly subjects of Satan’s rule are destroyed prior to his abyssing, as shown at Revelation 19:17, 18.

planksheer, again you have hit the nail on the head. Good job, guy.\n\nNecessity is the mother of invention.  If suddenly ALL oil vanished from the face of the earth, we would have another form of energy to replace it in a VERY short time.  And, of course, the oil companies would try to gain control of it.

The sun will grow until it engulfs the Earth before it burns out.  And long before that, the temperature will get way too hot and evaporate all the water, and the planet will no longer be able to support life.

Actually, the very center of the earth is solid, composed mostly of iron and some nickel.  It's a solid because of the extreme pressures at the center of the earth (solids typically have denser crystal structures than their liquid forms).  It's very, very hot down there, but the effect of the pressure keeping the core solid outweighs the tendency of high temps to melt it.  Higher up, away from the inner core, the outer core is in fact molten, and this is due to the very high temperatures.  Here, the effect of the high temperatures outweighs the effect of the high pressures (not as high as in the inner core), and the material exists in its less dense, liquid form.
