Does rock buried at depth have a much lower melting temperature than rock of the same composition but under normal pressures?
No. It has a much higher melting temperature because it is more difficult for it to expand due to the increased pressure at depth.
Does the temperature of water decrease or increase with depth?
The shallower the water is, the warmer it can be. Direct sunlight will warm the water and as the water deepens, the warmth from the sun cannot reach as far. This creates a slightly colder temperature.
What affects ocean water temperature?
Latitude and depth!!
List three characteristics that determine the structure of aquatic ecosystems?
here's four.... 1) depth 2) flow 3) temperature 4) chemistry of the overlying water
Does the temperature increase with depth on all the gas giants?
Yes it does.
What does the word thermocline mean?
a layer in a body of water in which water temperature drops with increased depth faster than it does in other layers
When depth into the earth increases so does?
Temperature and pressure increase with increased depth into the Earth.
What layer of ocean water's temperature drops with increased depth the fastest?
thermocline
What is the depth and the name of the layers of the earth?
the depth and names of the layers are your mum and your dad and your brother butnot your sister.
Does rock buried at depth have a much lower melting temperature than rock of the same composition but under normal pressures?
No. It has a much higher melting temperature because it is more difficult for it to expand due to the increased pressure at depth.
The different layers in an ice core are visible because?
An ice sheet survives summer, the temperature in that location ... GISP2 ice core at 1837 meters depth with clearly visible annual layers.
How do depth and temperature affect pressure?
Depth and temperature affect pressure by increasing the pressure as the depth increases. As depth increases, temperature often falls.
How does temperature change with depth in Earth's crust?
The temperature increases with increasing depth within Earth's crust.
What describes how temperature and pressure change with depth below Earth's surface?
Both temperature and pressure increase with depth.
Does the temperature in Earth's crust decrease in depth?
false, the temperature increases with depth
How does temperature change with depth below earths surface?
temperature increases with depth
How does the temperature of the ocean change with depth?
Temperature decreases with depth because warm water is more dense and tends to stay at the top layers of the ocean. Of course, currents could also influence temperatures sometimes.
