does temperature increase or decrese near the center of the Earth?

Answer 1

The farther you go towards the center of the Earth, the higher the temperature becomes. It's so high at the center that Earth's core is molten.

Answer 2

Depending on your local climate, the first 2-20 feet may vary seasonally. That is obviously just a small, small, portion of the outer layer of the earth called the crust. As you go deeper into the crust, the temperature goes up by about 70 degrees F per mile of depth.

That probably explains why not many mines are dug deeper than 1-2 miles mile or so based on the problems associated with keeping the workers in conditions where they can actually produce. The equation is not linear from the surface all the way to the core otherwise the core would be over 200,000 deg F. But, it does continue to increase and finally reaches somewhere between 7000-9000 degrees F.

Answer 3

The Earth possess a molten core which is really hot. Therefore as you get closer to the center the temperature increases. Hence lava escaping from a volcano is scalding.

Answer 4

In the outer layers of the earth, temperature is defined by weather. However, at deeper layers, temperature increases more as you get closer to the center.

Answer 5

Increase ... since the rock is actually molten under the surface, the temperatures must be higher to maintain liquid rock in its current state. Other metals closer to the core are also in a liquid/molten state ... which means that the internal temperatures are MUCH greater than the surface temperatures.

Answer 6

Increase -- due to the massive amounts of pressure the weight of the earth exerts on itself.

Answer 7

The Earth is much hotter in the center than at the surface.

Answer 8

I've been told the centre of the Earth is around 8,000 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 9

Pressure. There's almost no gravity in the inner core, but everything around it is pushing in.

Answer 10
