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.
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.
What causes the pressure that allows diamonds form in the mantle?
Diamonds are believed to be formed about 90 miles below the surface of the Earth, in the mantle. So, the weight of the Earth above them creates the pressure to form diamonds.
Which combination of temperature and pressure is inferred to occur within earth's stiffer mantle?
thez nuts
What are the thickest layers of the earth?
Thermosphere or the ionosphere is the thickest layer on earth. It reaches a height 400 kilometers.
How would the earth's mantle react under gentle continuous pressure?
it will steady as liquid form and hot
The rock cycle is a continuous process that changes materials found?
in both the Earth's lithosphere and 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 layer of earth has a 2.5 million atmospheres of pressure?
Mantle

How does the mantle interacts with earth crust?
something about pressure i guess lol :)

How was the planets mantle formed?
The earth's mantle would have formed initially in the same way as the crust, by the cooling of the earth but as for the metamorphic rock that defines the earth's mantle, that would have taken millions of years of extreme heat and pressure for it to form.
What pressure is the mantle?
23 g/cookies 5
What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in the Earth's mantle?
The overburden load / self weight of the approximately 150 to 190 km of material that overlies the layer of the Earth's mantle where diamonds form creates the pressure required.
In which layer of earth interior is the pressure inferred to be 1.0 million atmospheres?
Stiffer mantle.
