Why is the pressure in the center of the earth greater than the pressure in the mantle?

Because towards the center of the earth, there is more mass on top of it, so there is more pressure. All of the other layers, and the stuff on top of the earth is pushing down on it from all sides. For the mantle, its only the stuff on the top of the earth that is putting pressure on it.

85 percent
Which layer surrounds the center of earth?
mantle
What keeps the metals at the center of the earth moving?
The mantle
How is the temperature and pressure in the Earth's mantle related to the depth of the mantle?
The degree of temperature and exertion of pressure by the molten materials (magma) within the mantle is directly proportional to its depth. This means that, the deeper you go down the mantle the higher the degree of temperature and pressure exerted.
Is it a greater distance from center of earth to the poles or center of earth to the equator?
I'm thinking center to equator
Why is the center of the earth not molten?
The pressure from the outer core, mantle, and crust sqeeze it to a solid although is is fiery hot.
What keeps the metals at the center of the earth from moving?
the mantle
How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if the earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
What is between the surface of the earth and the center of the earth?
The Earth's mantle.
What is the Solid layer of earth that can flow because of great heat and pressure?
The mantle is the solid layer of earth that can flow because of great heat and pressure
What is the center part of the earth before the mantle?
the core

Why is mantle hotter and denser than the crust?
The mantle is closer to the molten core of earth, so it is constantly heated by it. The crust is exposed to the atmosphere, which has some cooling effect, and the crust is, of course farthest from the core.
