Temperature increases due to the fact that the center of the earth is magma. No humans or machine could actually get close enough to it to be able to tell. This is why high mountain tops are generally colder then sea level.

Temperature may fluctuate as you descend through different layers and currents, but overall the temperature gets gradually colder until you reach the pressure at which water has its maximum density. At that pressure the water will have a fixed temperature of 4 degrees Celsius. This is the temperature at the bottom of very deep freshwater lakes such as Lake Baikal.

As you go deeper into the Earth, you very quickly reach a point where the temperature is constant year-round. This may be warmer or colder than the surface temperature, depending on what time of year it is. From that point on, when you go lower it becomes hotter because the lower you go, the more you are traveling towards the Earth's core. The Earth's core is really hot.

Pressure also increases as you go deeper.

I assume you are thinking about ocean temperatures. In general, it gets colder the deeper you go.http://aquarius.umaine.edu/images/ed_ocean_temp_profile.jpg

because of the weather on the land becaues of the weather on land is hoter so the water gets colder

What layer in the atmosphere has the lowest temperature?

The Mesosphere has the lowest temperature of the layers of Earth's atmosphere because Temperature decreases with height in the mesosphere. The mesopause, the temperature minimum that marks the top of the mesosphere, is the coldest place on Earth and has an average temperature around −100 °C (−148.0 °F; 173.1 K)


Does depth affect water resistance?

Resistance of water is probably defined as pressure being applied by water on objects and as it's stated in fluid mechanics books pressure increases as height decreases or depth increases, so simply the answer is "yes".


How does depth and temperature affect pressure?

temperature is the average kinetic energy of the atoms of a gas. so with increased temperature the speed of the atoms of gas would increase. and since pressure is the collisions of said atoms on the side of a container; increased speed means more collisions of the particles and the side of the container increasing the pressure, and the same aplies for lowered temperature lower temp lower speed and less collions and less pressure.


Factors of liquid pressure depend?

three factors are 1) volume 2) temperature 3) upon the depth of the fluid


When an air bubble rises in water what happens to its potential energy?

no matter what happens to the bubble, even if it sinks or rises, the mass will remain the same throughout. we all know that as we go deeper into water, the pressure increases with the depth. hence, when the bubble rises, the pressure exerted on it decreases and simultaneously, the volume increases. that is all that happens to the bubble. the mass remains constant unless it bursts. the mass of air in the bubble originally is now dissolved in the water. always remember that the mass of anything is constant as long as it is acted upon the same gravitational force.
